Description
The VMware vSphere 6.5 Administration Basics Ultimate Bootcamp is a hands-on training course that features intensive practical training that focuses on administration basics of the VMware vSphere 6.5, which includes VMware ESXi 6.5 and VMware vCenter Server 6.5. This course enables the candidates to efficiently manage and administer a vSphere infrastructure of any size for any organization. It is the foundation course for most of the other VMware technologies courses and also provides a starting point to explore deeper in the field of software-defined data center.The VMware vSphere 6.5 Administration Basics Ultimate Bootcamp course covers the fundamental tools and techniques required to plan, install and administer a VMware environment including disaster recovery and backup. It also teaches the students on creating, configuring and securing virtual machines. The students will get a basic understanding of licensing and different components of the VMware vSphere suite of applications. The course will be helpful in preparing for the Certified Virtualization Expert (CVE) exam from VMware.
