Introduction
Training course introducion / brief

This training course is designed to provide participants with the essential design principles to develop a vSphere 7.x conceptual design given a set of customer requirements. This course will help participants determine the functional and non-functional requirements needed to create a logical design, and architect a physical design using these elements.

Training Methodology

 

The training course is designed to be interactive and participatory, and includes various learning tools to enable the participants to operate effectively and efficiently in a multifunctional environment. The course will use lectures and presentations, exercises, experiential and exposure to real world problems and policy choices confronting delegates.

Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to

  •          Gain a comprehensive understanding of the different conceptual, logical and physical elements of a design.
  •          Recognize functional and non-functional requirements
  •          Know the difference between Availability, Manageability, Performance, Recoverability, Scalability and Security (AMPRSS)
  •          Determine risks, constraints and assumptions for a design
  •          Create various vSphere designs.
  •          Create a workload physical design based on application requirements
