Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper V and System Center

The course enables configuration and management of Microsoft Server Virtualization infrastructure in an enterprise environment.  The course provides an overview of Microsoft virtualization technologies and different components of System Center 2012 R2 to evaluate the current environment and extend virtualization to the cloud. During this course, the delegates will learn how to configure and manage a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V, how to manage networking and storage infrastructure, how to configure key Microsoft Server virtualization features and how to use DPM and System Center Operations Manager for protection, monitoring, and reporting.

Virtualization plays a crucial role in the growth of an organization and reduce hardware and operating costs by moving from a physical to a virtual platform. It also saves money by reducing the number of servers consuming energy. Microsoft virtualization training empowers the delegates with fundamental knowledge to run virtualized server environment using Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper V. Throughout the course, the delegates will learn the concepts of Virtual machine movement, Hyper-V failover clustering, disaster recovery and Virtualization monitoring.
