Course Briefing:

1. Introduction to Virtualization Module Brief:

Virtualization is the pooling and sharing of technology resources, including servers, storage, and networking. Through virtualization, resources can be allocated across the organization’s applications and processes.

This module explains about the virtualization techniques and various vendors offering virtualization. This module also explains various uses and types of virtualization. It also discusses different system virtualization techniques such as Full Virtualization Paravirtualization, Hosted Virtualization, Emulation and Translation, Hardware Assisted Virtualization etc. Various scenarios portray the success stories of organization. It also details various benefits of virtualization in the datacenter and discusses how to manage the physical and virtual systems.

It also discusses some important topics such as Parallelism, Cloud computing, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

2. VMware ESXi on Linux Module Brief:

This module depicts VMware’s approach to virtualization and tells how to choose and install guest operating systems. This module details the steps required to install VMware Server. It also indicates what to look out for after the installation.

This module also describes VMware ESXi, its architecture, components, different management models, etc. This module also differentiates ESX 3 and ESXi and details VMware Site Recovery Manager API and its methods. It also shows how to set users, groups, permissions, and roles. VMware virtualization module helps in building a recovery plan, a step by step procedure, which includes creating, editing, managing, testing, pausing, resuming, or cancelling a Test. It also describes how to run a recovery plan.

3. Microsoft Virtualization Module Brief:

At Microsoft, virtualization means helping IT departments to maximize ROI and cost savings across the enterprise, and powerfully improving business continuity. Microsoft provides a complete suite of technologies to enable an integrated, end-to-end, and virtualized infrastructure.

Microsoft virtualization module familiarizes you with the different types of Microsoft virtualization technologies such as desktop, storage, application, and backup and recovery. This module also describes how virtualization helps to achieve disaster recovery with effective disaster planning and recovery solution.

4. Citrix Xen Virtualization Module Brief:

Citrix XenServer is server virtualization that makes datacenters more agile and efficient through faster application delivery, higher levels of availability, and improved utilization of IT resources. XenServer delivers the advanced features required by mission critical workloads without sacrificing the ease-of-use necessary for wide-scale deployments.
