Virtualisation
VMware Data Center Virtualization (DCV) with vSAN
Administer virtualised datacenters with vSphere, manage vSAN storage, optimise performance. Real use cases: migrations, sizing, high availability.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- deploy and administer VMware vSphere
- configure and manage vSAN
- implement high availability
- manage virtualisation resources
- optimise the virtual infrastructure
Who it's for: systems administrators, virtualisation engineers, infrastructure architects.
