Virtualization administrators need to have the knowledge to correctly use the tools provided in vSphere 6.5. In this course, you'll discover the correct methods of installation of the core products, vCenter, and ESXi. You will also learn the configuration of storage, networking, virtual machines, and clusters of hosts providing load balancing and high availability. Over time, administrators need continual management tools to do more with less, which includes using performance data, reading logs, and using tools to keep the environment stable and consistent.
