This workshop will instruct academic institutions/faculty on the procedures and processes for implementing a virtualized lab solution. Virtualized labs enable organizations to host real IT equipment, virtual machines, and lab content on the Internet to support IT training. Generally, these labs include all the software needed to provide an environment through which students may schedule and complete lab exercises for Information Technology courses.
Participants of this workshop will be performing a "from the ground up" build of the learning environment, to include both physical and software installations. Participants should be familiar with Cisco, VMware, and Microsoft Technologies before attending the workshop.
This hands-on training course explores installation, configuration, and management of VMware vSphereTM, which consists of ESXi and vCenter Server. The course is based on ESXi 5 and vCenter Server 5. Completion of this course satisfies as a prerequisite to take the VMware Certified Professional 5 exam. Faculty participants who complete this course may enroll in any of several more-advanced vSphere courses. See www.vmware.com/education for advanced course options.
Food and refreshments will be provided.
This training is a blended course. There is a mandatory orientation and capstone session. Each session will be delivered virtually via webex. You will receive a confirmation email one week prior to the orientation session. You will also receive a webex invitation one day prior to the orientation and capstone sessions.
The ICPA conference will highlight significant research and applications in precision agriculture, and will showcase emerging technologies and information management.
