This programme teaches you to install, configure and manage it: ESXi hosts, vCenter Server, virtual machines, networking with standard and distributed switches, shared storage, resource management, high availability and lifecycle management.
Each topic is backed by a lab in which you build the feature, break it and fix it. By the end you can run a production vSphere cluster and diagnose the common performance, connectivity and storage problems that administrators face.
