Course Overview
In this course participants gain the skills needed to virtualize their organization’s infrastructure with Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). Through extensive hands-on exercises participants learn how to deploy and configure a highly available virtual infrastructure with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 virtualization tools.In this course participants gain the skills needed to virtualize their organization’s infrastructure with Hyper-V or System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). Through extensive hands-on exercises participants learn how to deploy and configure a highly available virtual infrastructure with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 virtualization tools.
At the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Virtualize enterprise workloads with Windows Server Hyper-V
- Create Hyper-V Vms, optimized disks and virtual networks
- Maintain uptime with live migrations, clustering and other high-availability solutions
- Implement a private cloud using SCVMM
- Optimize virtual infrastructure performance and security
Pre-requisite
- Experience with Windows system administration and networking knowledge is assumed.
Duration
