This powerful 5-day instructor-led course participants provides in-depth training on VMware vSphere 8.0. This course is intended for vSphere professionals who want to take their knowledge and skills to the next level. In this course, we assume that participants already have a basic understanding of virtualization and work experience as a vSphere VM owner, as an operator or as a junior administrator. This could be on earlier versions of vSphere or on vSphere 8.0. Note: this is not a beginner level course. Attendees should have experience working with earlier versions of vSphere such as vSphere 5.x, 6.x or 7.0.
The approach taken with this course is – Learn by doing as 45+% of class time is devoted to hands-on labs! By the end of the class, attendees will have learned practical, actionable skills in vSphere design, implementation, upgrading, sizing, scalability, performance optimization and troubleshooting. Now that Broadcom has completed its takeover of VMware is and VMware prices have increased substantially, it is even more important than ever for you to maximize your ROI on your existing vSphere installation. This class will help participants achieve that goal!
