VMware vSphere 5 Part 1: Storage Configuration and Management New Horizons Lebanon
Price: TBA
  • Duration: 3 Hours

Course details

After a shared storage platform is selected, vSphere needs a storage network configured. Design choices for shared resources such as networking and storage can sometimes make the difference between virtualization success and failure. This is especially true for storage because of its critical role. The network, whether Fibre Channel or Ethernet based, must be designed to meet availability and throughput requirements; vSphere 5 offers numerous storage choices and configuration options relative to previous versions of vSphere or to non-virtualized environments. This course will concentrate on the configuration of supported shared storage solutions and technologies. It will cover the management aspects of datastores, storage profiles, performance and space considerations, as well as the various storage views available. Snapshot management and some additional considerations for future storage are also covered.
