After the success of my VMware ESX Server video training course from Train Signal, 3 months ago I started on a new project to create the best VMware vSphere video training course possible. After many hours of working with vSphere and sifting through VMware documentation to explore the new vSphere features and functionality, I am proud to say that my new vSphere course is ready and available to be ordered!
The course is nearly 18 hours long and is currently distributed on 3 DVDs that are shipped to your office or home. On that DVD, besides the high quality AVI version, the course will also be included in WMV, MP3, and iPod/iPhone formats. In fact, I had even more videos that wouldn’t fit on those DVDs and we will soon be making those available to be viewed, streaming, over the Internet!
In this course I cover topics these:
- VCP and VCDX Certifications
- Introduction to Virtualization
