VMware

VMware is associated with virtualisation and cloud infrastructure. Virtualisation allows multiple environments to run on shared hardware, supported by mechanisms for resource allocation, management and availability. Operating these environments requires an understanding of compute, storage and networking together, since each contributes to the performance and reliability of applications.

System administrators and infrastructure engineers can develop skills in deployment, virtual machine management, monitoring and troubleshooting. A coherent learning path also considers capacity, continuity and the consequences of configuration changes. The aim is to support reliable virtual infrastructure operations by making dependencies and constraints explicit. Course selection should reflect the components and versions actually in use, and practical exercises should connect administrative actions with their effect on workloads and users.
