FEATURES

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 in your production environment.

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.
