Course Description

Our online Virtualization Management training course will teach you how to effectively implement, manage and maintain a virtual computing environment for several business applications.

About Virtualization Training

Virtualization Management refers to the deployment, updating, monitoring and maintenance of virtualized applications. Virtualization is vital to the modern organization because it allows it to run various applications simultaneously on a single server. VMWare is the most recognizable name in the field, and their VCP certification carries great value.

Our self-paced online Virtualization training course focuses on installing, configuring and managing virtualization software. You'll learn how to work your way around the cloud and how to build the infrastructure for it. Additionally, you'll gain exposure to the primary platforms and learn how to manage access control, resource usage and apply patches to the software in case of issue. This training is designed with the industry's top certification exams in mind. Learn how to support your company's virtual infrastructure with this Virtualization Management training.

This class is not VMWare authorized.

Requirements: Tools Used

VMWare Workstation or VMWare Player

Win 7 or 8 VM & Server 2008 or 2012 VM

*Trial versions of Windows OS work fine*

If you enjoy this course, be sure to check out the [CompTIA Cloud+ class](https://www.cybrary.it/course/comptia-cloud-plus/)!

About the Virtualization Management Certification

Currently, the most popular certification around virtualization is the VMWare VCP. The VCP is administered through Pearson VUE test centers and in order to be eligible for the exam, you may need to seek VMWare approval.

What is Virtualization Management?

Virtualization management is the overseeing and administration of the tasks and processes involved in a virtualization environment. It involves the collective methods, technologies, and tools that are needed to ensure authority and management over an organization's virtualized infrastructure.

Virtualization management is usually performed from a virtual machine manager utility or application. The purpose of virtualization management is to make sure that virtual machines provide services and computing operations as they should. This may include processes like:

  • Creating, deleting, and modifying virtual machines, networks, or the whole infrastructure.
  • Ensuring that virtual machine software stays updated.
  • Establishing and maintaining the connectivity across virtualization environments.
  • Monitoring and managing the performances of virtual machines and the virtualization environment.
  • What Does this Virtualization Training Course Entail?

    In the IT industry, virtualization is a technology that isn't going anywhere. Virtual platforms, storage devices, and network resources are constantly becoming more advanced. Our virtualization management training course is beneficial to everyone, from beginners in the virtualization field, to experienced professionals – regardless of your company's choice of vendor – because it will provide you with the knowledge and skills that are needed to succeed in a virtualized environment.
