vmware vCloud - design

  • Thorough understanding of virtualization and vSphere capabilities are helpful.
  • VCP-level knowledge of vSphere
  • General vSphere design experience, with special emphasis on networking and storage
  • Exposure to the features and functionality of vCloud Director, vSphere, vShield Edge, and vCenter Chargeback

  • Technical influencers, high-level managers, and IT decision makers
  • Consultants, engineers, and first-line support people wanting a first look at the vCloud solution
  • Consultants and sales engineers responsible for designing public and private cloud architectures with VMware products

The VMware vCloud - Design Training course is designed to guide Delegates through the decision points and policy choices available for designing and implementing a VMware vCloud environment. They will learn the effects of design choices in VMware vSphere, VMware vCloud Director, VMware vCenter Chargeback, and the VMware vShield Edge capability that is included with vCloud Director.

By attending VMware vCloud Design workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Evaluate and design a multitenant environment to address private and public cloud customer needs
  • Configure vCloud providers to accommodate heterogeneous server, storage, and network resources
  • Design a network infrastructure optimized for vCloud
  • Integrate vCloud Director security with existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) systems and design appropriate security hierarchies with security roles
  • Design a vCenter Chargeback implementation
