Implementing and Managing Microsoft Server Virtualization
The Implementing and Managing Microsoft Server Virtualization training course is available at our Cardiff training centre in Wales, which is also within easy reach of Newport, Bristol and South Wales
Overview
This five-day, instructor-led course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to deploy and manage a server virtualization environment using Microsoft technologies. The course provides details on how to deploy and manage Hyper-V and Remote Desktop Services on Windows Server 2008 R2. The course also provides details on how to manage a server virtualization environment by using System Center products such as System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008, SCVMM 2008 R2, System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 R2, and System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2. This course does not require previous server virtualization experience, but does require that students have significant experience in managing Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students must:
•Perform server administrator tasks responsible for building and
maintaining a virtualization infrastructure.
•Work or consult for a midsize to enterprise-size
organization.
•Have a basic understanding of server virtualization concepts
related to Microsoft or other third-party virtualization
technologies.
•Support production, development, testing, high availability,
business continuity, staging, classroom, or hosting environments
based upon Windows Server 2008 technology.
•Understand a Windows-based network, including Active Directory
directory service.
•Understand storage technologies, such as Storage Area Network
(SAN) including Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI),
Fiber Channel, and Direct Attached Storage (DAS).
•Understand Windows Server 2008 failover clustering.
