VMWare VCP-DCV

VMWare certification course is a training program that teaches you how to use VmWare products and technologies, such as virtualization, cloud computing, networking, security, and end-user computing. There are different types of VmWare courses, such as online, on-demand, instructor-led, and certification courses.

VmWare ESXi data center course syllabus is a document that outlines the topics and objectives of a training program that teaches you how to use VmWare ESXi, a hypervisor that runs on bare-metal servers and allows you to create and manage virtual machines. There are different types of VmWare ESXi data center courses, such as certification courses, online courses, and instructor-led courses.
