Why choose this class?

Our instructors are real working consultants whose job is managing VMware Infrastructures from 3 to 300 Hosts. You will benefit from the same skills and knowledge that the instructor has applied to mission-critical systems for the Fortune 500, Government and companies just like yours!

What makes our approach so unique is that we teach people what they actually need to know! Every participant builds a Best Practices Private Cloud from the ground up.
