I have learned many things from this course, but some of the concepts need more explanation. For instance, I would have liked to have more detail about the installation of openfiler SAN. Also, it would be good to have a new section on newer version of ESXI. Thanks.

The course is short and useful and instructor helped me a lot to complete the lab. I hope if he can give us real world lab about DRS in another course or add it at the same course. Thanks!

Nice basics about VMware. Very good overview of the terminology, wording and how to run common tasks. I would have appreciated a bit more explanations about some tasks. E.g. when copying a machine what happens with the UUID, will it get changed automatically? Can I access the same virtual disks on the openfiler with two different entries in the Inventory? ... But in the end a very good entry course. Thank you very much for the quick ramp-up of basic VMware skills.

Nice and well made, covers all the basics you need for an ESXi (vSphere) infrastructure, including storage (SAN and NAS), vMotion, vCenter and so on. I really like it, worth every penny

Overall, I have learned a lot from taking this course. Now, I have a better understanding of vmware. Toward the end, the section on high availability was short. It would be nice to see how to configure the HA. Jeremy

I really like this course as it helps it uses pratical examples to make it easy to understand the basic concepts of vmware vsphere. The author of this course makes himself available to help the students with their questions. All my questions got right anwers any time I needed explanation. I have bougth 4 more courses from the auther for the way it course was taught. I will recommend his courses to other colleagues.

The instructor went at a pace that I was able to easily follow along. He seemed very knowledgeable and made the course easy to understand. I enjoyed the class very much and would be interested in other classes by this instructor.

Excellent presentation of the basics. Though some of the information was covered quickly for a beginner to comprehend totally, the topics were presented in enough detail to allow the audience to be able to research further on their own with the understanding of the underlying concepts. Great job!!

As someone who is new to VMware, this course got be acquainted with the technologies and basic concepts behind esxi/vsphere management. Sometimes the accent can be hard to understand, but if you watch what is going in in screen you will understand. 5 stars.
By Charles M on 1/11/2016
This is a really good course for someone who is interested in learning the basics of VMWare vSphere and ESXi Virtualization. I used the course to set up my own ESXi server with the vSphere Client. I intend to continue using the course to keep things fresh in my head as I finish building up the virtual environment on my laptop, and then migrate it to my server.
