20745B : Implementing a Software-Defined DataCenter Using System Center Virtual Machine Manager Course Overview:
This five-day course explains how to implement and manage virtualization infrastructure in a software- defined datacenter by using Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager. The course also describes how to monitor the infrastructure by using System Center Operations Manager and protect it by using System Center Data Protection Manager.
Intended Audience For Software-Defined DataCenter Course
This course is intended for IT professionals and administrators who are responsible for designing, implementing, and managing virtualization infrastructure in a software-defined datacenter by using Virtual Machine Manager. The main focus of this course is on managing Hyper-V virtualization infrastructure in Windows Server 2016, although the course also covers other virtualization platforms that can be managed by using Virtual Machine Manager 2016.
This course is also intended for IT decision makers who want to determine which virtualization product to implement in their software-defined datacenters and who want to become familiar with the System Center solution for managing virtualization infrastructure.
Benefits of taking this course
There are several benefits to taking the 20745B: Implementing a Software-Defined DataCenter Using System Center Virtual Machine Manager training course:
- Gain the skills and knowledge needed to design, implement, and manage a Software-Defined DataCenter (SDDC). SDDCs are becoming increasingly popular as a way to improve IT agility, efficiency, and scalability. This course will teach you how to use System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to create and manage a SDDC.
- Learn how to use VMM to automate the provisioning, deployment, and management of virtual machines. This can help you to save time and resources, and to improve the reliability and efficiency of your IT infrastructure.
- Become familiar with the latest features and capabilities of VMM. This course will cover the latest features of VMM, such as nested virtualization, host clustering, and storage management.
- Get hands-on experience with VMM through a series of lab exercises. This will help you to solidify your understanding of the material and to develop the skills you need to be successful in implementing and managing a SDDC.
Here are some specific benefits that you can expect from taking this course:
- Improved IT agility: By using a SDDC, you can quickly and easily provision new virtual machines, deploy applications, and scale your IT infrastructure up or down as needed. This can help you to respond more quickly to changing business needs.
- Increased efficiency: VMM can help you to automate many of the tasks involved in managing a virtualized environment. This can save you time and resources, and help you to improve the efficiency of your IT operations.
- Enhanced scalability: A SDDC can be scaled up or down easily to meet changing demand. This can help you to avoid overprovisioning of resources, and to save money on your IT costs.
- Improved reliability: A SDDC can be more reliable than a traditional physical infrastructure. This is because virtual machines can be migrated to different hosts in the event of a failure.
- Reduced costs: A SDDC can help you to reduce your IT costs by consolidating workloads onto fewer physical servers. This can also help you to save money on energy and cooling costs.
