VMware vSphere 7 avec ESXi et vCenter (VM7431)

Cette formation de cinq jours rigoureuse fournit une introduction intensive à VMware vSphere, incluant VMware ESXi 7 et vCenter 7. Ce cours a été mis à jour pour refléter les changements introduits dans vSphere 7. Prenant en compte que vous débutez dans le domaine de la virtualisation, cette formation commence avec les principes de base et progresse rapidement dans les sujets plus avancés. Avec plus de 45% de temps de laboratoire, les participants vont apprendre les connaissances requises pour devenir des administrateurs vSphere chevronnés. Les participants vont utiliser un laboratoire permettant d’installer et de configurer des serveurs ESXi et vont ensuite déployer le stockage partagé, la réseautique et la gestion centralisée. La formation va continuer à progresser dans des sujets plus avancés dont la gestion des ressources, la haute disponibilité, la réplication, la performance, l’agilité en cas de désastre, le déploiement rapide des systèmes virtuels et la migration de stockage. Cette classe est unique d’approche – elle permet d’identifier et d’éliminer les problématiques en utilisant vSphere. Les participants vont savoir comment le système de virtualisation demeure bénéfique au point technique, mais aussi au point de l’entreprise. À la fin de la classe, les participants auront appris les bonnes pratiques de virtualisation, étant capables de concevoir, implémenter, déployer, configurer, surveiller et gérer vSphere 7.
