Course Introduction:

Virtual machines allow a computer to run multiple operating systems simultaneously, letting you partition servers to isolate applications, improve portability and migration, or create entire testing labs within a single PC. In this course, you gain the skills needed to install, configure and manage virtual servers and workstations.

Course Objectives:

Manage VMware and Microsoft Virtual Machine (VM) technologies
Leverage VMs to build testing, support and training environments
Partition physical servers to decrease operating costs
Migrate from physical to virtual machines
Manage VMs on VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V
Increase service availability through hot migrations

Who Should Attend?

Those in desktop and server support or management roles who have experience with system administration of Windows or Linux and networking knowledge.
