VMWARE 5.x TROUBLESHOOTING 4 days
This course has been updated to version 5.x. There is no official course covering this version.
It requires a bit of experience with VMware, it's not a course suitable for a beginner.
The 5.x troubleshooting course is designed to teach staff the additional skills needed to diagnose and fix server problems, in short to keep the ESXi's up and running. This should increase server uptime, and reduce third party support needs and their associated costs. The course is heavily practical, with some labs lasting 3-4 hours, with labs generally accounting for about 70% of the course.
The VMware 5.x troubleshooting course is the only version 5.x in Europe, and particularly useful for those going from VMware 4 to 5,due to the back end differences between them.
cost is £800+vat per person.
VMware don't have any troubleshooting certification schemes, so they don't offer certification on their courses, and as such there's none available here.
