VMware Advanced Skills for vSphere Professional Workshop [V6.7]

This five-day workshop is intended to provide hands-on experience to anyone aspiring to pass the VMware Certified Advanced Professional — Data Center Virtualization Deploy 2018 certification exam.

This course covers all the exam objectives and provides maximum practical exposure to various vSphere administration and configuration issues. 

VMware vSphere: Advanced Troubleshooting Workshop [V6.7]

This five-day, intensive hands-on training workshop provides you with advanced knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in troubleshooting the VMware vSphere 6.7 environment.

This workshop is aimed at experienced system administrators and introduces methods and skills that use management command-line interfaces (CLIs) and VMware vSphere ClientTM.

This workshop focuses on investigating and resolving problems, analyzing log files to help you recognize log file entries that identify root causes, and configuring specific key vSphere features.

Persistent memory (PMEM) is a new technology that bridges the gap between DRAM and traditional storage.

It has the speed characteristics of memory, but it retains data through power cycles. While maintaining persistence of data across reboots and crashes, when compared to traditional storage, PMEM offers performance advantages such as DRAM-like latency and bandwidth, and use of regular load/store byte-addressable instructions.

These characteristics make PMEM very attractive for a varied set of applications and scenarios. This paper looks at Intel Optane DC persistent memory performance in vSphere 6.7.

This guide documents VMware best practices and recommendations for running low latency media and entertainment applications in vSphere 6.7 VMs in cloud or hybrid-cloud environments.

Due to VMware technology advances, not only can you run streaming TV client applications in VMs, you can also host the core video streaming applications for many broadcast and media solutions.

Agility is top of mind for many IT organizations. Get quick For Dummies tips and see the benefits of using automation to speed the deployment of multi‐tier applications, providing improved productivity and efficiencies for IT and faster time to market for the business.

IT Automation For Dummies

VMware vSphere 6.7 U2 includes new scheduler options that secure it from the L1TF vulnerability, while also retaining as much performance as possible.

This paper provides an overview of the security issues, description of this new scheduler option, and the results of performance testing with different scenarios.

Depending on many factors, the overall impact to performance varies, but, in general, the new scheduler option allows for most scenarios to recapture a significant amount of the performance that was lost due to the L1TF security mitigations and patches.

This video-based training provides the details of the new features and product enhancements in NSX V6.4. The course walks you through the benefits of the new features, how to make use of the new functionality, and in some cases, how to troubleshoot these new capabilities.

Software-defined networking (SDN) has evolved to solve many different needs including: network virtualization, fabric management, and automation.

In this guide, you’ll learn how the SDN allows infrastructure to become fundamentally more efficient with security built-in, creating a new model for managing network complexity in an era of cloud and containers.

In Next-Gen Virtualization for Dummies, you will explore:

• What next-gen virtualization can do for your data center
• How storage and network virtualization fit into the picture
• A path to seamless adoption of hybrid cloud
• Guidance on deploying and optimizing the performance of next-gen virtualization
• How next-gen virtualization makes system administration easier
