Virtualization Technologies: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

Course: 170 Duration: 4 Days

You Will Learn How To

Employ VMware and Microsoft virtual machine (VM) technologies
Combine Windows and Linux workstations and servers on a single platform
Leverage VMs to build testing, support and training environments
Partition physical servers to decrease operating costs
Migrate from physical to virtual machines
Manage VMs on VMware ESX and Microsoft Hyper-V

Course Benefits

Virtual machines allow a computer to run multiple operating systems simultaneously, letting you partition servers to isolate applications, improve portability and migration, or create entire testing labs within a single PC. In this course, you gain the skills needed to install, configure and manage virtual servers and workstations. Hands-on exercises provide practical experience with virtual computing, virtual networks and optimizing virtual machines.

Who Should Attend

Those in desktop and server support or management roles. Experience with system administration of Windows or Linux and networking knowledge is assumed.

Hands-On Training

Hands-on exercises provide experience deploying and administering virtual machines, including:

Exploring the virtual machine interface
Customizing bridged, NAT and host-only virtual networks
Invoking vendor-specific tools to enhance functionality
Creating environments for support, testing and training
Administering virtual servers remotely
Scripting administrative tasks
Performing physical to virtual machine migration
Examining effects of CPU resource allocation
Installing and managing ESX Server
Importing and managing Hyper-V based VMs
