Cloud Computing

Thorough understanding of virtualization and vSphere capabilities will be helpful.

This course demonstrates to technical personnel how the VMware vCloud™ solution delivers IT services in a cloud environment. The course focuses on enterprise usage in a private cloud but also includes information on how this approach supports moving to a hybrid or public cloud. Students perform hands-on labs to understand how IT resources are delivered and consumed in a vCloud environment. Instructors demonstrate the basics of how the vCloud solution abstracts, allocates, and meters IT resources in a vCloud environment.
This course is not VMware vCloud Director system administration training. The focus is on demonstrating the features and benefits of the vCloud solution rather than the details of how to install, configure, and manage the components.

At the end of the course, you should gain an understanding of the functionality and benefits of the vCloud solution, including:

• How cloud computing benefits both IT departments and their end users
• How the VMware® product portfolio supports the cloud computing approach
• How IT resources are delivered, consumed, metered, and secured in a vCloud environment
