VMWare Certification Training Course

VCP-DCV certification accredits the ability to install, configure, deploy, scale and manage VMWare VSphere environments. TechLibrary training helps candidates have the comprehension and ability to install , configure and manage a VSphere environment. VCP training covers (but is not limited to) the use of these topics: Vcenter management , ESX Configuration , Security , Patch Management , Storage Management , Network Virtualization , Fault Tolerance Migration.

With the use of high end state of the art devices, our students get the ability to learn, understand and deploy large VM Ware environments. We also train our students to execute more and lean for working on real equipment so that they can easily crack the exam in a single attempt.
