VMware vCloud: Overview [V1.0]

Class Overview & Benefits

Overview

Insyte's authorized VMware vCloud: Overview V1.0 training and certification power class is offered in most cities nationwide including  Washington, DC, Chicago, Miami and Boston. This course demonstrates to technical personnel how the VMware vCloud™ solution delivers IT services in a cloud environment. The course focuses on enterprise usage in a private cloud but also includes information on how this approach supports moving to a hybrid or public cloud. Students perform hands-on labs to understand how IT resources are delivered and consumed in a vCloud environment. Instructors demonstrate the basics of how the vCloud solution abstracts, allocates, and meters IT resources in a vCloud environment.

This course is not VMware vCloud Director system administration training. The focus is on demonstrating the features and benefits of the vCloud solution rather than the details of how to install, configure, and manage the components.
