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 successfully complete the Ultimate Bootcamp and pass the examination with a 75% score or
higher.
