Are you looking for VMware vSphere administration training? Want to get perfect practical knowledge? Do you want to learn from an experienced trainer who makes complex concepts simple and easy to understand? Then join this instructor-led "VMware vSphere Administration" training.
Your trainer Manoj is a VCI (VMware Certified Instructor), will cover the ESXi 8 host and vCenter 8 server administration. He will cover the installation, configuration and management of multiple ESXi hosts, and all dependent components (like VMs, storage and networking) from a single centralized location.
You'll be ready for the VMware VCP-DCV 2024 certification and the vSphere Administrator job role also! Since Broadcom acquisition, the mandatory official VMware training attendance is not required to get VCP-DCV certified. You can appear the exam after our training and get certified!
VMware virtualization is a hot topic in IT because of the potential for saving money on physical hardware, electricity and cooling. With VMware virtualization, a hypervisor (ESXi) is installed on the physical server to allow for multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on the same physical server.
