Are you looking for VMware vSphere Training? Do you want to learn from an experienced trainer who makes complex concepts simple and easy to understand? Do you need to prepare for the VMware vSphere 6.5 Datacenter Virtualization (DCV) exam?

I am a VMware Certified Instructor who has taught thousands of hours of live training directly for VMware. Most lectures in this course are 5 - 15 minutes long. A few deeper topics are slightly longer. This course gives you a strong understanding of vSphere administration.

VMware vSphere is everywhere. Non-virtualized datacenters are a thing of the past, and in order to stay relevant you must understand vSphere. This course builds off my "Clear and Simple vSphere 6.5 Foundations" videos, and gives you a deeper understanding of vSphere.

You will learn about vSphere concepts like vSphere Networking (including a deep look at Distributed Switches), Storage (including VSAN and vVOLs and much more), and vSphere Security. I will also provide many live demos of common tasks that you may need to perform as a vSphere Administrator using the vSphere Web Client.
