VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale (VM-VOS)

VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale is designed for experienced VMware vSphere® users. It teaches advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you will configure and optimize the vSphere features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure and discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect. Anyone who is ready to take their understanding of vSphere to a deeper level and learn how to use advanced features and controls will greatly benefit from this course. The course is based on VMware ESXi™ 6 and VMware vCenter Server™ 6.

This course prepares the student for the VMware Certified Advanced Professional 5 - Data Center Administration (VCAP5-DCA). Also, successful completion of this course satisfies the prerequisite to take the VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV) certification exam.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course and it's labs you will be able to:

Configure and manage ESXi networking and storage for a large and sophisticated enterprise
Manage changes to the vSphere environment
Optimize the performance of all vSphere components
Harden the vSphere environment against security threats
Troubleshoot operational faults and identify their root causes
Use VMware vSphere® ESXi™ Shell and VMware vSphere® Management Assistant to manage vSphere
Use VMware vSphere® Auto Deploy™ to provision ESXi hosts

Note: About one-third of the VMware vSphere 5.5 to 6: What’s New (VIWN) course content is repeated in this course. The scalability topics in VMware vSphere 6.5: Fast Track (VVFT) are repeated in this course.
