Overview

About This CourseAre you the kind of person who learns best by doing? Do courses with just Power Point voice-overs leave you cold? If so, then this course is for you, because the only Power Points you'll see are in the introduction and end of class lectures.In this course offers 14+ hours and 73 videos of lab task demonstrations - the equivalent of attending a 5-day vSphere 7.0 Boot Camp course at a fraction of the price. I'll show you how to build, configure, administer, run, scale vSphere 7.0. I'll also show you how to deliver better than 99.99% service availability.This course consists exclusively of 100% Hands-on Lab demos videos of a real VMware vSphere 7.0 installation. I'll take you from first-principles (powering on a new server) to a completed, working Compute Load Balancing / Storage Load Balancing / Failure Recovery cluster and everything in between.I've organized this course into Sections - that focus on the most important vSphere 7.0 features. Each Section has one or more step-by-step Hands-on Lab demo video(s).with voice overs to explain what I am doing and why I am doing it. I cover best practices, things to watch out for, issues / concerns, bugs in VMware's software and much more.There are 6 free-preview lectures (first lecture of Sections 1-6) offering over 70 minutes of free content. I encourage you to watch these lectures to see if this course is for you. You also get our free sample vSphere 7.0 Boot Camp Lab PDF ebook.How to Use This CourseIf you are new to vSphere or are wondering how all of the vSphere pieces fit together, start at the beginning and see how it's done.
