This free online training course provides an overview of Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) and VMware software-defined storage (SDS) technologies. It explores how VMware Hyper-Converged Software (HCS) combines Virtual SAN software-defined storage with vSphere and vCenter management to transform compute, storage, and network resources to enable a simple, cost effective, reliable, high performing hyper converged infrastructure on industry-standard x86 building blocks.
This course continues with technical coverage of VMware Virtual SAN and explores the features and benefits that are key components of what VMware HCS delivers. The course also explores use cases for VMware HCS and Virtual SAN ranging from business critical applications to virtual desktops.
At the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Describe Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) and the VMware Hyper-Converged Software (VMware HCS) components.
- Explain VMware Hyper-Converged Software deployment options and the concepts of VMware Software-Defined Storage and Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM).
- Describe the architecture, technical characteristics, and benefits of VMware Virtual SAN.
- Explore use cases for VMware HCS.
