Course Overview
This extended five-day course introduces you to basic through advanced VMware vSphere® 8 management techniques. You will gain the advanced skills required to administer and maintain a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure by building on the installation and configuration content from our best-selling course. You will instal, configure, and administer vSphere 7 using a combination of lectures and practical labs. The components that lay the groundwork for a fully scalable infrastructure will be examined, and you'll talk about when and where they have the most impacts. Through this course, you will be able to manage a vSphere infrastructure for any size of business using vSphere 8, which comes with VMware ESXiTM 8 and VMware vCenter Server® 8.
