vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage (4-days) - VSICM

This is the “standard” vSphere course for those who want to “get to grips” with the key benefits of running virtualized applications, and learn how to deploy vSphere and enable the core features that allow an organization to begin to take advantage of such benefits.

vSphere: Fast Track - 5 days (extended hours) - VSFT

This course is not for the faint-hearted! It incorporates all the VSICM material, plus the VSMA and VSMS content into a single extended-hours course, and is the ideal course for someone who wants to learn as much about the core elements of vSphere 4 as they can in one week!

vSphere: What's New - 2 days - VMWN

Are there others in your organization who have experience with the previous generation product, VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3)? They will gain value from this course if they need to know about the key new features in vSphere 4, or if they are responsible for planning or performing a migration or upgrade to vSphere 4 from VI3.

vSphere: Manage for Performance - 3 days - VSMP

If you want to know how to maximise performance in a vSphere environment, this is the course for you! We go “under the bonnet” and discuss all the elements that can affect performance, you’ll learn all the key resource metrics, and how to optimise host and guest configurations and the underlying infrastructure to get your virtualized applications running at maximum warp!

vSphere: Troubleshooting - 4 days - VST

Are you up to the challenge of problem-solving a huge variety of system and configuration issues on a broken vSphere system? Once you’ve learned about the key troubleshooting resources and techniques, your instructor will introduce fault after fault on your lab systems - and it’s down to you to fix them!

If you’re taking the VCP4 exam for vSphere, this workshop will maximise your chances of getting that great score you want! Our workshop is unique in the UK, written by an exam veteran who knows all the “tricks of the trade” with certification exams. We focus on improving your exam technique and the key study areas for VCP4, all designed to help you do yourself justice on the big day!

vSphere: Manage Scalability - 1 day - VSMS

As your vSphere deployment grows you’ll benefit from learning about some of the many scalability features in vSphere that we just don’t get time to cover in VSICM. This course collects together the key aspects of vSphere that can help as your number of hosts and virtualized applications inevitably grows!

vSphere: Manage Availability - 1 day - VSMA

Virtualization offers some unique ways to keep applications highly-available, this course goes beyond VSICM in comparing high availability mechanisms for virtualized applications and other aspects of a vSphere deployment, with specific content on various VMware solutions.

Those who work in a pre or post-sales role, or are otherwise involved in designing/architecting deployments of vSphere are the perfect target audience for this workshop.
