Overview/Description
vCenter Server provides some useful new features for monitoring your VMs and hosts. Expanded performance views and charts, and increased numbers and types of alarms available by default make it much easier to manage and monitor VMware vSphere performance and ensures that the administrator is not caught unaware of performance issues or lack of capacity. The monitoring of VMware vSphere should be a combination of proactive benchmarking and reactive alarm-based actions and vCenter Server provides both methods to help the administrator keep tabs on each of the VMs and hosts...
Overview/Description
The idea that we can take a single physical server and host many VMs has a great deal of value in today's dynamic datacenter environments. However, there are limits to how many VMs can run on a VMware ESXi host. The key to making the most of your virtualization platform is to understand how key resources such as memory and processors are consumed by the VMs running on the host and how the host itself consumes resources. One of the most significant advantages of server virtualization is the ability to allocate resources to a VM based on the machine's actual performance...

In addition to securing against external threats you must also work to mitigate threats against the internal network components such as vLANs, switches, and iSCSI traffic within your vSphere Environment. This course describes how to protect internal components using ESXi Shell, Security Profiles. Firewalls, Lockdown mode, and encryption. Often times, the first time that you connect to a vCenter Server instance, you receive a Security Warning dialog box.This security warning appears because the vSphere Client uses HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) to connect to...

When planning host upgrades there is some pre-migration prep work that should be considered. This course explains the prep work involved and all of the items required before completing ESXi upgrades to ESXi 5. Post migration best practices for an ESXi host upgrade are also detailed. VMware tools are an important part of your virtualized infrastructure to help provide the highest levels of performance for guest Operating Systems. It is considered a best practice to keep the VMware tools up to date. This course discusses the ways to upgrade VMware tools as well as the...

Ensuring High-Availability, fault tolerance, and business continuity is a key part of virtualization that is often overlooked or considered after the fact. In fact, it is as important as configuring storage devices and setting up virtual networking. There are multiple layers where vSphere administrators can help provide High-Availability in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the business and the unique requirements of the organization. Virtualization and VMware vSphere in particular enable new ways to provide High-Availability. A well known technique for...

Security is a vital consideration when setting up and managing a vSphere environment. Like most other areas of security within information technology, securing a vSphere environment means securing several different components of vSphere. This course examines vSphere security considerations, points of vulnerability, as well as VMware security resources. The majority of what you need to do as a vSphere administrator involves working with vCenter Server. Even so, it's still necessary to discuss how ESXi handles user authentication, because the mechanism vCenter Server uses...
