VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage V4 Training Class
 This hands-on training course class explores installation, configuration, and
management of VMware vSphere, which consists of VMware ESXi/ESX™ and VMware vCenter Server. You will develop and reinforce your skills in 24 hands
-on labs, with lab time and lecture evenly split throughout the course.
Upon completion of this course, you can take the examination to become a VMware Certified Professional (voucher not included). The course is based on ESXi 4.0, ESX 4.0, and vCenter Server 4.0.
The VMware Class Covers
- Install and configure ESX
- Install and configure vCenter Server
- Configure and manage ESX networking and storage using vCenter Server
- Deploy and manage virtual machines
- Manage user access to the VMware infrastructure
- Increase scalability using vCenter Server
- Monitor resource usage using vCenter Server
- Apply patches using vCenter Update Manager
- Manage higher availability and data protection using vCenter Server
