The course covers various methods of implementing VMware vSphere on NetApp ONTAP. The course covers modern tools for virtual infrastructure management, provisioning of data storage and storage for guest virtual machines.

Students will also get hands-on training on how to back up the virtual infrastructure with best practices and will use methods and tools to manage and monitor system health and performance.
