VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale

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.
