This course on Server Virtualization with Hyper-V and System Center by Vitalii Shumylo is exceptionally clear and straightforward. While the pace can be quick at times, I appreciate the instructor's efficient teaching style, which keeps the content engaging and to the point. I'm currently building a system with 2025 SCVMM, and the course is proving invaluable in helping me not only configure it but also deeply understand its inner workings. As an IT professional, I've found this course incredibly helpful, and I highly recommend it to anyone new to server virtualization. I'm still in the early chapters and will update this review as I progress, but so far, it's been a fantastic learning experience!

The course content and presentation were excellent. I appreciated the clear explanations of the concepts, and the foundational topics were thoroughly covered, making it easy to follow and understand.

By Miria Gilmour on 1/17/2025

The instructor presents the material in a clear and engaging manner, using practical demonstrations and visual aids to enhance comprehension, making complex concepts accessible and easy to grasp.

By Ralf Dehnhardt on 1/3/2025

Die gezeigte Installation ist nur für ein TestLab geeignet, auf eine Produktiveumgebung und deren Konfiguration wird nicht eingegangen. Das was hier Inhalt ist, bekommt man schon zum großen Teil hin auch ohne Kurs.

By Sk Rafi Khan on 11/17/2024

Excellent course! It provides a lot of useful detail and a thorough understanding of the subject. I highly recommend it, even if you’ve had some experience with Hyper-V already.

By Tom Kelly De Castro on 7/16/2024

This course is beneficial. There are numerous theory lectures in this. Although we practice, I wish the theoretical section could be added to the PDF files. Because rather to just watching the film, there are a few things we should read again. This will greatly enhance the course.

By Romulo Alberto Piña on 7/15/2024

I wish more time had been dedicated to the configuration and testing of replication and migration. Rather than simply demonstrating how to navigate. But a good course all around.

By Md Afzal Hosen on 7/14/2024

This course was great; it had very clear explanations in a conversational, approachable manner. If you just want someone to explain things to you so you can comprehend them, you may forgo all the academic jargon. Then you should take this course.

By Jeffrey M Rodachy on 6/20/2024

The first half of this course is a heavily accented Russian man showing you around Hyper setup. It is very basic. The second half is a very static slide presentation with a computer generated voice that sounds like it is reading from System Center Overview document. Nothing is actually displayed from the product interface.

By Andrew Bolton on 11/15/2021

Covering the basic topics perfectly however the actual configuration of the system was missing so could do with another course that has more details on the actual configuration of VMM as a Management Platform
