VSOS7 - VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale [V7]

Duration: 5.0 days
This five-day course teaches you advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you configure and optimize the VMware vSphere® 7 features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure, and you discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect.

Attend this course to deepen your understanding of vSphere and learn how its advanced features and controls can benefit your organization. As an exclusive benefit, those who participate in this course will receive additional premium recorded lecture material on vSphere security.
This course is also available in an On Demand format. For more information, select this link: VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale [V7] - On Demand.
