Gain in-depth skills and hands on experience with ESX Server 3.5 and VirtualCenter 2.5 today! Rock Solid Technical Services brings 17 years of proven experience into the classroom to give students a solid understanding of virtualization technology.

newmap.jpgIn class we give students a full set of tools to learn how to install, support, and troubleshoot a VMware Enterprise environment.

 

Here’s some of what we cover:

  • ESX Server 3.x Physical to Virtual (P2V) migrations
  • Upgrade from ESX 3.x to 3.5
  • Virtual to Virtual (V2V) migrations
  • VirtualCenter 2.5
  •  VMware Lab Manager
  • VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB)
  • VMware Converter 3.0 Enterprise Edition

Here’s what the students have access to:

Each student will setup their own ESX Server, License Server, VirtualCenter Server, and use a variety of tools to support the VMware Enterprise. This course offers students to build, support, and troubleshoot their own server. The ESX server sites in class with the student and is not virtual. In other words students have a real physical server to install and configure. We do not use Citrix to run a class with ESX. This is mobile training and we can run it anywhere.
