Work on
VMware HCL Hardware & Perform Real World labs: Each
student is assigned their own dedicated Dell Poweredge server with 24 hour
access during the Bootcamp week.
Students will perform all labs on hardware you find in a real data
centers and not PC’s like you find in other VMware Training courses. Having
24/7 unlimited access to the state-of-the-art data center means the student can
leverage the learning experience by revisiting labs where other courses have
limited hours and access to servers.
This flexibility allows students to learn at their own pace without time
constraints or distractions.
The Ultimate
BootCamp has over 50 labs, the most of any training program available, leading
to 65% of the class time spent learning by hands on labs. The time spent performing hands on labs
allows the student to develop the skills, knowledge, and techniques needed to
implement vSphere 4.0 in your production environment.
Qualified
Instructors Make A Difference:
Certified,
Experienced Instructors:
The
Ultimate Bootcamp instructors are not just instructors. They are also consultants who have performed
small, medium and large consolidation projects, who have real world experience
using the virtualization technology and techniques that they teach. Bringing this experience into the classroom
gives the student a real training experience not found in other 9-5 training
programs. Students are able to work on their own and bring questions they have
into the classroom and ask the “What Ifs” questions that they are working on in
their own live environment.
Essential
Third Party Tools:
Any job is easy when you have the right
tools, and in the Ultimate Bootcamp the student
will be introduced to and learn how to apply third party tools that,
when utilized in conjunction with VMware, will not only enhance the student’s skills but simplify processes, optimize efficiency, and make the administrators job
that much easier.
Quality
“Resourceware” and Follow-on Continuing Education:
With more the
750 pages, and a 250 page lab book, Ultimate Bootcamp courseware is intuitively
designed to help the student easily move through the chapters regardless of
their level of experience and will serve as a reference source even after the
class. This unique feature of all
Ultimate Bootcamps is what attracts so many students looking for a great training
experience.
Access to
Instructors and Servers After the BootCamp:
Ultimate
Bootcamp graduates are given access to CVE Forums and the UB community after
completing the Bootcamp. Benefits
include access to Ultimate Bootcamp servers to work on and perform testing
outside of the production environment, technical support and advice for design
and trouble-shooting virtualization environments.
Securing the Virtual Environment:
Despite many advances in system security,
most major operating systems remain plagued by security vulnerabilities. Special
attention is given on how to secure the virtual environment and using advanced
Virtual Server Architecture strategies allowing innovation through design and
exploiting a safe execution environment.
Official Certified Virtualization Expert Exam: Students
will finish the week by taking the Certified Virtualization Expert Exam.
Delivered in a professional testing environment, the 2 hour exam is
designed to validate the information covered in the Ultimate Bootcamp, and
certify the student as a subject matter expert in the application of
Virtualization technologies. To receive the certification the student must
