Virtualization is the foundation of modern IT infrastructures. Stable, scalable, and secure environments are created where computing power is flexibly provided and centrally controlled. What is needed is in-depth knowledge of the design, operation, and optimization of virtual platforms that reliably guarantee performance and availability.

Key topics

  • Architecture and components of vSphere.
  • Installation and configuration of ESXi and vCenter.
  • Management of virtual machines.
  • Storage and network fundamentals
  • Resource management and high availability
  • Monitoring, performance analysis, and troubleshooting

Prerequisites
Fundamentals of network technology, server administration, and operating systems.

Target group
IT administrators, system engineers, data center managers, and infrastructure specialists.

Solid virtualization expertise strengthens the stability of digital systems and creates a resilient basis for cloud, automation, and modern IT strategies. Practical know-how supports the efficient, secure, and sustainable operation of complex environments.
