Learn IT!’s 5-day VMWare Bootcamp provides all of the content covered in the 4 VMWare courses below compressed into a 5 day Bootcamp. It would otherwise take a total of 12 days to take these courses:
- VMWare Infrastructure 3: Install and Configure (4 days)
- VMWare Infrastructure 3: What's New (2 days)
- VMWare P2V Assistant: Server Migration (Updated to VMWare Converter) (2 days)
- VMWare Infrastructure 3: Deploy, Secure and Analyze (4 days)
In our Bootcamp, students will also be exposed to independent, third party solutions, that are not taught in other VMWare classes.
We also provide our students with real world examples from actual server consolidations completed by real world consultants.
Certification
Learn IT!’s VMWare Bootcamp is designed to give you all the advanced skills and knowledge you need to implement and maintain VMWare, however our course is not a certification course.
Server Hardware:
- Students are each provided their own server during the Bootcamp . Most other VMWare classes have at least two students sharing a single server.
- The s erver hardware provided is brand new and is on the VMWare supported hardware list.
Hands-on/Labs:
- Learn IT!’s labs are specifically designed to work in synergy with the courseware.
- All labs are written with step-by-step instructions.
- Labs are optimized so our students get a full understanding of how the product works.
- Labs are preformed on all of the major topics and we cover lab topics that are not fully covered in other VMWare courses.
- Our course consists of over 50% hands on labs.
Examples of labs covered:
- High Availability (HA)
