Introduction
In this three-day course, students will focus on deploying and managing a software-defined storage solution with VMware vSAN 6.7. Students will learn how vSAN functions as an important component in the VMware software-defined data center and will gain practical experience with vSAN concepts through the completion of hands-on lab exercises.
Audience profile
This course is intended primarily for:
- Storage and virtual infrastructure administrators who want to use software-defined storage with vSan
Pre-requisites
In addition to their professional experience, students who attend this training should already have the following technical knowledge:
- Storage administration experience on block or file storage devices
