Explore how VMware vSAN fits into a software defined data center, including compute, storage, and networking pillars, through labs and hands-on deployment and management concepts.
Explore storage fundamentals, including local storage, storage boxes, storage area networks, and the architecture that links disks to hosts, with attention to performance factors like IOPS, throughput, and latency.
Learn how VMware vSAN delivers software-defined storage through all-flash and hybrid architectures, using SSD caches, capacity devices, and space-efficient features like deduplication and compression, guiding datastores, VMs, and ESXi hosts.
Configure and validate vSAN networking for a multi-host cluster by defining physical network requirements, uplink assignments, and bandwidth strategies, and verify health, licenses, and trust before workloads.
Explore how vSAN storage policies govern virtual machine availability and performance, including configuring failure tolerance, striping, IO limits, and both standard and sparse snapshots.
Learn to manage hardware storage devices, expand capacity, add and move hosts into a vSAN cluster, configure alarms, implement fault domains, and perform maintenance and disk management.
Learn how VMware vSAN stretched two-node clusters enable high availability across multiple data centers, with witnesses, mirrored copies, and storage policies to sustain outages.
In this course, you will focus on deploying and managing a software-defined storage solution with VMware vSAN™ 6.7. You will learn how vSAN functions as an important component in the VMware software-defined data center. You will gain practical experience with vSAN concepts through the completion of hands-on lab exercises. With real question and answers
