Goals
This five-day, extended-hour course will take you from basic to advanced knowledge of managing VMware vSphere® 8. Building on the installation and configuration content from our best-selling ICM course, you'll also develop the advanced skills needed to manage and maintain a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure . Through a combination of lectures and hands-on exercises, you'll install, configure, and manage vSphere 8. You'll explore the features that form the foundation of a truly scalable infrastructure, and discuss when and where these features have the greatest impact. This course prepares you to manage a vSphere infrastructure for any size organization using vSphere 8, which includes VMware ESXi™ 8 and VMware vCenter Server® 8.
