Introduction
Hello to all readers of my blog!
In the previous article of the series “VMware Learning. Year 2020” we considered a list of areas and specifics of authorized learning Vmware.
Today we will talk about the main training programs in the field of Data Center Virtualization & Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure.
Direction of training – Data Center Virtualization & Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure includes training programs on VMware vSphere, vSAN, Site Recovery Manager, VMware Intergrated OpenStack technologies.
VMware vSphere
VMware vSphere is server virtualization software and the heart of a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) that helps you run, manage, connect and secure applications in a shared cloud operating environment.
The main current training programs for vSphere technologies are:
● VMware vSphere: What’s New [V5.5 to V6.5 (V6.7)]
- Duration: 3 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers.
The course can be recommended to customers who want to deploy vSphere 6.5 (6.7) in their existing vSphere environment.
● VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.5 (V6.7)]
- Duration: 5 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers.
- Certification: VMware Certified Professional 6 (6.5) – Data Center Virtualization (VCP6 (6.5)-DCV).
The course includes intensive hands-on training that focuses on installing, configuring, and managing VMware vSphere version 6.5 (6.7), which includes VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter Server. The course prepares for vSphere infrastructure administration for an organization of any size. This is the foundation of knowledge for most other VMware technologies in a software-defined data center.
● VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale [V6.5 (V6.7)]
- Duration: 5 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers.
- Prerequisites: Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage course.
- Certification: VMware Certified Professional 6 (6.5) – Data Center Virtualization (VCP6 (6.5)-DCV).
A course in advanced skills to configure and support a highly accessible and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a combination of lectures and practical exercises, students configure and optimize the features of VMware vSphere 6.5 (6.7), which form the basis for a truly scalable infrastructure. This course will deepen your understanding of vSphere and how advanced features and controls can benefit.
● VMware vSphere: Troubleshooting Workshop [V6.5 (V6.7)]
- Duration: 5 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers.
- Prerequisites: VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage. Experience in working with a command-line interface is highly recommended, as is completion of VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale.
- Certification: VMware Certified Professional 6 (6.5) – Data Center Virtualization (VCP6 (6.5) -DCV).
This hands-on course provides advanced knowledge, skills and abilities to achieve troubleshooting competency in VMware vSphere 6.x. The course enhances skills and knowledge in using the command line interface, VMware vSphere Client, VMware vRealize Log Insight and other tools for analyzing and solving problems.
vSAN
VMware Virtual SAN (or vSAN) is a distributed storage concept that is fully integrated with VMware vSphere at the ESXi cluster level. vSAN is a software storage system that allows you to abstract from the “iron” data warehouse and work with resource pools without worrying about where the virtual machine data is located.
Key ongoing vSAN training programs:
● VMware vSAN: Deploy and Manage [V6.7]
- Duration: 3 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers.
- Prerequisites: Storage administration experience on block or file storage devices. Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage course.
In this course, students focus on deploying and managing a software-defined storage solution using VMware vSAN 6.7. The course provides knowledge of how vSAN, an important component of the VMware data center software, functions. Students receive practical experience working with vSAN concepts and perform hands-on laboratory exercises.
● VMware vSAN: Production Operations [V6.7]
- Duration: 2 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target Audience: Administrators.
- Prerequisites: Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage course. Storage administration experience with block or file storage devices. Completion of the VMware vSAN: Deploy and Manage course or equivalent experience with vSAN is desirable.
In this course, students acquire the skills to configure and perform common administrator and end-user tasks using VMware vSAN 6.7.
● VMware vSAN: Troubleshooting Workshop [V6.x]
- Duration: 2 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers.
- Prerequisites: Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage course. Completion of the VMware vSAN: Deploy and Manage course or equivalent experience with VMware vSAN.
In this course, students will learn the tools and skills needed to troubleshoot a VMware vSAN 6.x implementation. They gain hands-on experience with vSAN troubleshooting concepts through hands-on lab exercises.
Site Recovery Manager
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) is a business continuity and disaster recovery solution for planning, testing and restoring virtual machines from a protected, primary site to a backup recovery site.
Current Site Recovery Manager Technology Curriculum:
● VMware Site Recovery Manager: Install, Configure, Manage [V8.2]
- Duration: 2 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers, Architects, Integrators.
- Prerequisites: VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage course.
The course gives experienced VMware vSphere administrators the knowledge to install, configure, and manage VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.2. This course also shows how to write and test disaster recovery plans that use Site Recovery Manager.
VMware Intergrated OpenStack
VMware Integrated OpenStack is a VMware-supported version of the OpenStack infrastructure that simplifies the operation of the OpenStack production environment, deployed over the existing Vmware infrastructure.
Current VMware Integrated OpenStack Technology Curriculum:
● VMware Integrated OpenStack: Install, Configure, Manage [V5]
- Duration: 5 days.
- Level of difficulty: Professional.
- Target audience: Administrators, Engineers.
- Prerequisites: This course requires the completion of the following course: VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage, VMware Integrated OpenStack Fundamentals, VMware Network Virtualization Fundamentals.
The course provides skills for creating a private cloud using VMware Integrated OpenStack in a software-defined data center environment based on Vmware technologies. This course develops skills in installing, configuring, and managing VMware Integrated OpenStack. Students will learn how to offer IaaS and PaaS advanced networking and security to end users using VMware Integrated OpenStack.
