Course Description

This Course Is An Affordable Alternative for vSphere 7.0 Training

Do you need to train up on vSphere 7.0 quickly and efficiently? Do you need thorough, detailed and in-depth training that covers both the theoretical and practical sides of vSphere 7.0? If so, you've probably looked at official vSphere training - only to be put off by the price...

Q: What do you do if you need in depth vSphere 7.0 training, but can't afford an official class?
A: Sign up for this course instead!

This course (the first in a 3-part series) was originally developed as a 5-day intensive vSphere 7.0 boot camp class. It provides a complete introduction to vSphere 7.0 including ESX 7.0 and vCenter 7.0.


What Do You Get?
This course includes over 56 presentations totaling 13.5+ hours of recorded lectures and hands-on lab demo videos. Every lecture video and every hands-on lab demo video is fully downloadable, so you can continue to learn while you travel.

You also get a free 161pg PDF ebook that contains:

  • Full slides and slide notes for the first 4 lecture sections

  • Detailed Hands-on Lab notes for the first 3 lab sections


You Don't Need Prior vSphere Experience
Assuming no prior virtualization experience, this class starts with the basics and rapidly progresses to advanced topics. With 16+ hours of recorded lectures and full hands-on lab demo videos, you will gain the knowledge and the hands-on skills you need to become effective vSphere 7.0 administrator.

The easiest way to tell for sure is to check out the 12 Free Preview Lectures and hands-on Lab Demo videos we offer. With almost 2.5hrs of free content available (you don't even have to sign up), you can take your time and be certain that this course is right for you before you buy.

Worried you might change your mind? No problem! Udemy offers a 30-day money back guarantee on each course sale so you can always change your mind later.


You Will Learn How To Build An Entire vSphere 7 System From Scratch
This class starts from first principles - with a basic introduction virtualization - including what it is, how it works and its many features and benefits.

Next you will learn now to:

  • Install and configure stand-alone an ESXi server according to best practices

  • Configure virtual and physical networking

  • Work with advanced vSwitch settings including security, pNIC teaming, network health checks

  • Connect ESXi 7.0 to NAS / NFS storage

  • Configure and size new Virtual Machines and how to install a Guest operating system and Tools into your new VM

  • Install vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) including how to perform the initial install (Stage 1 and Stage 2), what to update in the Virtual Appliance Management Interface (VAMI), how to join vCSA to Active Directory, how to update Single Sign On, how to lay out your vCenter inventory objects and how to add your ESXi 7.0 host to vCenter management.


You Get Both Lecture and Lab Demo Videos

This course includes both detailed lecture presentations and fully explained hands-on lab demos. Our lectures introduce you to, and motivate each topic including what it is, what it does, why you need it, how it works, what to watch out for, best practices, design tips, sizing limits and much more. After each lecture section you'll see a detailed hands-on lab demonstration that takes you through exactly how to perform the tasks we introduced in the lectures including how to install, configure, administer, etc. each vSphere component.

Total class time is roughly 60% lecture and 40% lab demos.

Note that while we provide step-by-step hands-on lab demo video presentations, access to live hands-on labs is not included in this course.

The class continues to to advanced topics including resource management, high availability, replication, performance, disaster preparedness, rapid deployment and VM cold, hot and storage migration, patching and updating with Lifecycle Manager, and more.


Learn How To Deliver Technical And Business Value
This class is unique in its approach; which is to identify and eliminate common IT pain points using vSphere 7.0. Students learn how to deliver real business value; not just the technical or mechanical aspects of the software.

Q: What do you do if you need to learn VMware vSphere introductory or advanced skills - but can't afford the crazy $4,200 price of VMware vSphere Install, Configure, Manage [v8] or the even more outrageous $6,400 for VMware vSphere Fast Track [v8] training courses?
A: Enroll in one or more of my VMware vSphere courses here on Udemy!

I have created introductory and advanced vSphere 8.0, 7.0 and 6.7 learning tracks that, combined, offer over 100+ hours of VMware vSphere lectures and hands-on lab demos.

My vSphere 8.0, 7.0 and 6.7 courses provide you with training comparable to what you would get from official VMware 5-day training courses like VMware vSphere Install, Configure, Manage [v8.0] , VMware vSphere Fast Track [v8.0] or VMware vSphere Optimize and Scale [v6.7] at 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 much less.

Great Course Larry.

By Tej Punjab Pandey on 5/13/2023

Great course complete may whole semester syllabus just in 13 hr.

By Daniel Fenech on 2/7/2023

While I have some experience with VMware, I consider myself a beginner. What would have really helped so far is the use of diagrams/drawings while explaining. This would have made it easier for me to visualise the technologies/features that are being discussed. This review was requested at Section 2 (so it does not factor in 95% of the course).
