Course Description
In this course based on VMware ESXi™ and VMware vCenter™ Server 5, you will become equipped with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in designing a VMware vSphere® 5 virtual infrastructure. Given an organization's constraints and requirements, the infrastructure should be available, scalable, manageable, and secure while meeting the organization's business objectives.
You will discover the benefits and risks of available design alternatives and receive information to help you make sound design decisions. You will also have an opportunity to practice your design skills through hands-on labs and working with peers on a design project.
