VMware vSphere 4.0 Foundations Boot Camp

Three(3) Intense Days of Hands-on VMware vSphere training by Intense School’s virtualization experts. Plus, leave with a certification proving your virtualization skills!

Hands-on Labs with in-classroom equipment:

All of the hardware is present in the class itself, not located somewhere else, requiring you to remotely connect using an unreliable hotel conference room connection. We provide you direct experience from the ground up on real hardware that is all on the VMware Hardware Compatibility list. This is proven to increase your learning experience, reduce problems in class and give you concrete skills for returning to the workplace.
