VMware Training Overview

This is an ever evolving class. It sets out to show the students lots of resources that are freely available on the market. The class focuses on VMware's ESXi product, but will also show other virtualization products

Class will be mostly lab and demo with only about 25% actual lecture. Students will also receive a free Thumb Drive with some or all of the resources covered in class. Class will demo the various Virtualization Software, but will focus on ESXi and XenServer. It is expected that students would have attended previous virtualization training. Experience can substitute for this requirement.
