4882 - How to create professional video tutorials
In this session you will learn how to create professional videos easily. You will get a walkthrough with some basic steps like setting-up you lab, using the right microphone and disabling other interfering software. Besides a lot of great tips for recording an instructional video, you will also learn how to edit the videos and use special effects to make the tutorials more attractive to watch. You will also learn how to import other content. Once the video is ready, you will get a heads up about all the different possibilities for sharing the video.
4943 - VMware High Availability Failover Capacity Demystified
VMware High Availability offers several options to configure failover capacity for a cluster. This session will show you the different options and their pitfalls. You will learn how to configure vSphere HA to tolerate a specified number of host failures. With the Host Failures Cluster Tolerates admission control policy, vSphere HA ensures that a specified number of hosts can fail and sufficient resources remain in the cluster to fail over all the virtual machines from those hosts.
5008 - vCenter Operations and the quest for the Missing Metrics (with Duco Jaspars)
This session will teach you how to customize vCenter Operations to provide you the information you really need for your business. You will get an insight of very useful vCenter Operations Manager customizations. We do this by giving you some real life examples from the field where we use Custom Dashboards, Super Metrics, Adapters and Alerts in order to give you the best possible view in to the well-being of your environment.
