Kursin jälkeen sinulla on tarvittavat taidot suunnitella, mitoittaa ja tehdä määrittelyt kuhunkin ympäristöön parhaan mahdollisen VMware vSphere ympäristön luomiseksi sekä edellytykset VCAP-DCV Design -testiin.

Kurssin jälkeen sinulla on erityisesti seuraavat taidot:
• Identify the business objectives for the vSphere environment
• Identify business requirements, constraints, assumptions, and risks for all layers in the vSphere environment
• Apply a framework to a design
• Analyze design choices and best-practice recommendations
• Create a design that ensures availability, manageability, performance, recoverability, and security
• Design the core management infrastructure for an enterprise
• Design the virtual data center for an enterprise
• Design the compute infrastructure for an enterprise
• Design the storage and networking infrastructures for an enterprise
• Design virtual machines to run applications in a vSphere infrastructure
• Design security, manageability, and recoverability features for an enterprise

Kurssi on tarkoitettu erityisesti arkkitehdeille ja konsulteille, mutta myös kaikille, jotka osallistuvat omien VMware vSphere ympäristöjen käyttöönottoihin. Erityisesti kurssi sopii myös VCAP-DCV Design sertifiointiin tähtääville.

Tämän kurssin esivaatimuksena on hyvä käytännön kokemus tai VMware kursseista suoritettuna VMware vSphere: Fast Track, VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale tai VMware vSphere: What’s New. Kurssi sopii myös erityisesti jo VCP-DCV sertifioinnin suorittaneille jatkokurssiksi.
