Overview

On this accelerated VMware vSphere on NetApp (VVNA) course, you’ll learn the different methods to implement and manage the integrated VMware vSphere on NetApp ONTAP virtual infrastructure, while monitoring for strength and performance.

In just 5 days, you’ll gain hands-on experience using the vCenter NetApp plug-in and the Virtual Storage Console (VSC) to configure and monitor the VMware host settings, performing backups, restoration, and virtual machine cloning operations. You’ll also learn how to:

  • Optimise NetApp Storage systems using Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), FCoE, iSCSI, and NFS protocols.
  • Perform data storage networking for both iSCSI and NFS data stores
