Virtualisation Technologies: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

 
Course: 170   Type: Hands-On Training   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 optimising 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 are assumed.

Hands-On Training

Hands-on exercises provide experience deploying and administering virtual machines, including:
  • Exploring the virtual machine interface
  • Customising 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
