VMware vSphere: Advanced Administration Workshop [V7]

Duration: 5 Days (40 Hours)

VMware vSphere: Advanced Administration Workshop [V7] Course Overview:

Enroll in the 5-day VMware vSphere: Advanced Administration Workshop [V7] certification training course at TrainCrest. This course is specifically designed to provide students with a comprehensive set of skills, ranging from routine VMware vSphere® 7 administrative tasks to advanced vSphere operations and configurations.

The training curriculum incorporates a blend of hands-on labs and interactive lectures, immersing students in real-life scenarios faced by VMBeans, a fictional company. By experiencing these practical situations, students gain firsthand exposure to the challenges encountered by organizations as they build and scale their virtual infrastructure.

With approximately 90% of the course focused on practical application through labs, students develop the necessary skills to address complex vSphere administration tasks. The course fully aligns with the objectives of the VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Data Center Virtualization Deploy exam.

Enroll today to expand your expertise and be prepared to tackle real-world scenarios in managing and optimizing virtual infrastructures using VMware vSphere.
