Course Description
About this CourseThis 34.
5 hr course is the longest, most information packed and most complete VMware vSphere 6.
7 course you will find on Udemy.
Do you already have basic VMware vSphere / virtualization knowledge and experience and want to take your skills to the next level? Maybe your goal is to skill up so you can pass VCP-DCV or VCAP certification exams, get that promotion or earn a senior position as a VMware vSphere 6.
7 administrator?
If so, this 100% downloadable course is for you! Want to be sure? Every chapter in my course has at least one free preview lecture and a 30-day, no questions asked, money back guarantee.
I originally developed the content in this course for 5-day Instructor Led training classes - the kind of class that can cost $4,200+USD/seat at major training companies. But now, it is here on Udemy - so you can get the same high quality training for a lot less.
Don't settle for VMware video training that is just a few hours of recorded PowerPoint slides. In this mega-course, I include both lecture and hands-on lab demo videos. In the lecture material, I explain concepts, provide an overview of using vSphere 6.
7 and include best practices and design and troubleshooting tips, etc. In the hands-on lab demos, Ilog into one of our live vSphere rental labs and show you exactly how to get the job done, step-by-step.
Please note that this course does not provide access to live labs but does include video demonstrations of how to complete tasks using vSphere 6.

What I Cover In This CourseIn this course, I explain step-by-step how to upgrade or migrate from vCenter for Windows or vCenter Appliance to vCenter Server Appliance 6.
7 and how to use VMware Update Manager to upgrade ESXi hosts and how to upgrade Virtual Machine virtual hardware and VMware Tools. Ialso cover advanced topics such as Fibre/iSCSIshared storage, Raw Device Maps, working with VMFS6 Filesystems, Storage Profiles, Storage DRS Clusters, High Availability Clusters, Fault Tolerance and Distributed Virtual Switches.
I'll show you how to diagnose, isolate and fix common problems. We will use Host Client, Web Client, HTML 5 Client and command line tools to explore, configure, update, investigate and zero in on performance bottlenecks and trouble spots. Up to 45% of class time is devoted to labs so concepts, skills and best practices are developed and reinforced.
By the end of the class, attendees will have learned practical, actionable skills in vSphere design, implementation, upgrading, sizing, scaleability, performance optimization and troubleshooting.

Get VMware vSphere 6.7, 6.5 and 6.0 training here... on Udemy!
Q: What do you do if you need to learn VMware vSphere introductory or advanced skills - but can't afford the $4,300+ needed to attend official VMware training?
A:Enroll in my VMware vSphere training here on Udemy!
I have created introductory and advanced vSphere 6.7, 6.5 and 6.0 learning tracks that, combined, offer over 100+ hours of VMware vSphere lectures and hands-on lab demos.
My vSphere 6.7, 6.5 and 6.0 courses provide you with training comparable to what you would get from official VMware 5-day training courses like VMware vSphere 6.7 Install, Configure, Manage or VMware vSphere 6.7 Optimize and Scale, but at just a fraction of the cost.
Here on Udemy, I can provide more insight and detail, without the time constraints of a normal instructor led training class. My goal is to give you a better training experience - for less.
How Will ESXLab vSphere Training Benefit Me?
I get lots feedback from people who tell me the benefits they have received from my courses::
- Help prepare for VMware Certified Professional (VCP) or VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) certification
- Help fill in knowledge gaps on software they already have and use
- Learn about new features and capabilities of vSphere 6.7 or 6.5
- Learn how to use vSphere Web Client and HTML 5
