VMware NSX: Install, Configure, Manage

Course details

Overview:

This comprehensive, fast-paced training course focuses on installing, configuring, and managing VMware NSX™. NSX is a software networking and security virtualization platform that delivers the operational model of a virtual machine for the network. Virtual networks reproduce the layer 2–layer 7 network model in software, enabling complex multi-tier network topologiesto be created and provisioned programmatically in seconds.
