This three-day VMware design training course equips you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to design a VMware vSphere® 7 virtual infrastructure. You follow a proven approach to design a virtualization solution that ensures availability, manageability, performance, recoverability, and security, and that uses VMware best practices. This course discusses the benefits and risks of available design alternatives and provides information to support making sound design decisions.
This course aligns to the following products: VMware ESXi™ 8, VMware vCenter Server® 8
Individuals involved in the design of a vSphere solution.
By actively participating in this course, you will learn about the following:
Create a vSphere design given a case study.
Identify and assess the business objectives of the vSphere environment.
Identify business requirements, constraints, assumptions, and risks, for all layers in the vSphere environment.
Apply a framework to a design.
Analyze design choices for vCenter, ESXi, storage, networking, vSphere clusters, and virtual machines.
Identify design decisions to ensure manageability, which include scalability, capacity planning and lifecycle management.
Identify design decisions to ensure that the vSphere environment is highly available.
Identify design decisions to ensure that the vSphere environment performs well.
Identify design decisions to ensure that the vSphere environment is secure.
Identify design decisions to ensure that the vSphere environment can recover from data loss or disaster.
It is recommended that delegates have previously attending the following course: VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage.
