Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Virtualization: Hands-On

 
Course: 968   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Implement Hyper-V to consolidate servers for optimized resource utilization and availability
  • Effectively plan and deploy virtual machines and virtual networks
  • Roll out highly available services and applications through clustering and quick migrations
  • Centralize management of virtual machines with System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)
  • Optimize, monitor and troubleshoot virtual machines with built-in tools and add-on solutions
  • Secure Hyper-V servers through firewalls and reduced attack surfaces

Course Benefits

Virtualization is a powerful enterprise technology that provides simplified administration, reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and environmental benefits to the organization. When properly implemented, Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V can be used to consolidate servers and ensure high availability. In this course, you gain the practical skills to deploy, manage and secure virtual machines built on Hyper-V technology.

Who Should Attend

Server and network administrators, infrastructure architects and anyone responsible for implementing or managing virtualization solutions based on Hyper-V. Experience with Windows Server administration is required.

Hands-On Training

Throughout this course, extensive hands-on exercises provide practical experience deploying and managing virtual machines with Hyper-V. Exercises include:
  • Planning and installing Hyper-V
  • Building efficient virtual machines
  • Constructing the virtual network topology
  • Performing quick migrations with clustered hosts
  • Leveraging SCVMM for P2V and V2V conversions
  • Remotely interfacing with the Self-Service Web Portal
  • Applying PRO Tips for increased performance
  • Configuring Hyper-V on Server Core
