VMware Horizon View 7.X with VMware vSphere Course

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The problem with most VMware Horizon View classes is that they present Horizon View as if it were a standalone product. VMware Horizon View requires integration with VMware vSphere! Only our VMware Horizon View 7.X with VMware vSphere class teaches students everything they need to know to install and use VMware Horizon View including the required integrations with VMware vSphere.

Our VMware Horizon View 7.X with VMware vSphere class offers participants the most extensive training available in the real-world Installation, Configuration and Management of VMware® Horizon View™ 7. Each participant will work hands-on with real servers to build and administrate their own complete VMware® Horizon View™ 7 environment from the ground up.
Our class offers participants a more comprehensive experience than other classes because each student gets to install and configure a complete VMware® vSphere™ environment designed and optimized specifically to support Virtual Desktops.

In our class, in addition to Horizon View, you will cover important vSphere topics such as:
 VMware vSphere Architecture for Horizon View
 vSphere Optimizations for Horizon View
 Licensing for Horizon View
 Types of storage for Horizon View (vSan, SSD, Auto-tiering)

Once the infrastructure has been provisioned, participants install VMware® Horizon View™ 7 and begin the process of learning how to maximize their administrative efficiency while managing VMware® Horizon View™ 7 environments while maintaining the highest levels of Virtual Desktop security. During class we focus on real-world Virtual Desktop deployment scenarios using the available GUI tools; the vSphere Client, vCenter Server, and the Horizon View Manager.

The VMware® Horizon View™ 7 Virtual Desktop Deployment class features over 50 hands-on Step-By-Step Labs (SBS LAB™), complete with detailed instructions, full-color documentation and screenshots of all steps. Over 60% of class time is spent doing labs! The book alone is sure to become one of the most valued reference materials in your library.

GOALS

Each participant will gain comprehensive understanding of installing, configuring and managing a VMware Horizon View 7 environment running on the latest edition of VMware vSphere.
