VMware vSphere Foundations/Advanced Combo Boot Camp
"You get 2 great certifications proving your mastery of virtualization skills!"
Virtualization is changing the way that the infrastructure grows. It requires new skills and thought process in terms of how you design efficiently and plan for growth. Without proper design and a comprehensive understanding of the full capabilities of the technology and associated tools, you are missing the true value to you and your business of a virtualized approach to the infrastructure. It takes knowing how proper configuration management can lead to greatly improved reliability and performance.
Hands-on Labs with in-classroom equipment:
It is important to understand that Intense School’s VMware Foundations-Advanced Combo Certification Boot Camp is the most hands-on approach available; at least 60% of the class time is spent directly DOING; this allows for a better experience, more retention, and REAL skills development. 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.
Real VMware vSphere Foundations-Advanced Combo Certification Boot Camp Expert Instructors: When you are looking for technical training, it is important to investigate who will be leading the class, and verify that they have real experience. Our instructors spend up to 50% of their time deep in consulting projects for medium to large enterprises, and have documented experience.
