Free e-learning course - VMware vSAN and HCI Fundamentals
This course begins with the concept of software-defined datacenter, software-defined storage, and hyper-converged infrastructure, then reviews traditional vSphereβs storage solutions and introduces vSAN as a new addition to the solutions.
The course also discusses vSANβs architecture, relationships between components and some basic concepts. This course explains the major vSAN technologies that fulfill workload requirements, and discusses the key features and common use cases of vSAN.
vRA + NSX - Delivering App-Centric Networking and Security
VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) is the powerful automation engine in VMwareβs vRealize Cloud Management Platform (CMP). vRA is designed to automate not just applications and service delivery, but also the infrastructure ecosystem around them, resulting in an app-centric authoring, provisioning and lifecycle management solution.
A critical component of that infrastructure is a Networking and Security strategy that can meet the demands of new and existing applications while protecting enterprises against a modern threat.
This video presentation dives into application-centric networking and security solutions with vRealize Automation 7.3 and VMware NSX to make building, consuming, and lifecycle-managing networking and security a core function of service delivery.
