SCHAUMBURG, Ill., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TrainSignal, the global leader in professional computer training, announced the release of their VMware vCloud Director Essentials Training course.
The vCloud Director Essentials Training course teaches administrators of vSphere environments how to use VMware vCD to leverage enterprise virtualization to provide IT resources on-demand. Using vCloud Director, admins can deploy custom-built services "as a service" in order to provide a consistent user experience between private & public clouds. Managing and monitoring resources under this IaaS model opens up the opportunity for cost-efficiency and business agility to expand on top of existing investments.
This essentials training teaches the concepts behind cloud infrastructures and vCD basics for creating a vCloud Director lab. This environment can be used for testing and/or training, utilizing vApps and the vCloud API, and as proof of concept for implementing vCD with a vSphere Enterprise Plus environment. The lesson outline includes:
-- vCloud Director Resources & Working with vSphere
-- Creating Self-Service Catalogs and vApps
-- vCD Installation, Setup, Architecture and Components
-- IaaS, SaaS, PaaS
-- Private, Public and Hybrid Cloud & Evolution of the Data Center
vCloud Director Essentials also features a guest instructor, vExpert Jake Robinson of Datacenter provider Bluelock. This lesson provides insight as to how vCloud Director is used in a real-world, client setting and demonstrates how distributing IT resources through VMware cloud computing services fosters customization.
The lab environment used in the course includes 2 Dell T610 servers and an Iomega IX-200D NAS, though a virtual vSphere lab running inside VMware Workstation is sufficient for viewers interacting with the course.
