VMware VSphere: Fast Track [V6]

VMware V6 Fastrack course is based on VMware ESXi^TM 6.0 and VMware vCentre Server^TM 6.0. The delegates will be introduced to the infrastructure assessment, virtual data centre infrastructure, core management infrastructure, compute infrastructure, network infrastructure, infrastructure security, infrastructure recoverability and much more. Moreover, they will follow a proven approach for designing and deploying a scalable, available, secure and manageable virtual solution.

VMware V6 Fastrack is a five-day course in which the delegates will gain knowledge regarding following topics:
