System engineers
Datacenter operators
What background do I need?Experience with Windows or Linux system administration and networking knowledge is assumed. For example, you should know how to:Create and administer users, groups and shared network resources
Configure networking resources, such as routers, switches and firewalls
Specify hardware requirements for server operating systems and applications running on those servers
Remotely access and administer computers in a network environment
Why should my organization implement VMware vSphere?VMware vSphere is a powerful suite of software
tools that enable organizations to optimize and manage IT
environments through virtualization. The main components of
vSphere are ESXi Server, Virtual Machine File
System (VMFS) and vCenter Server.
VMware vSphere, when effectively deployed,
can:
Increase hardware utilization and reduce hardware costs
Reduce the physical space required for your datacenter
Decrease the power and cooling requirements of your datacenter
Reduce labor costs by simplifying and automating IT operations
Increase application availability to the datacenter customers
Improve the responsiveness to business needs with instant provisioning and dynamic optimization of applications and environments Does this course help me prepare for VMware Professional Certification?No, this course does not prepare you for the VMware Professional Certification and instead focuses on the practical
