VMware vSAN: Plan and Deploy [V7]
The VMware vSAN: Plan and Deploy [V7] course is designed for participants interested in learning about VMware vSAN technology, its architecture, and implementation strategies. This course covers a variety of topics to provide a comprehensive understanding of vSAN, including an introduction to the technology, planning and implementing vSAN clusters, storage policies, advanced configurations, and working with stretched and two-node clusters. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of vSAN architecture, object-based storage, and the differences between All-Flash and Hybrid vSAN architectures. They will also learn about vSAN integration and compatibility with other VMware technologies, such as VMware vSphere High Availability and VMware Site Recovery Manager. The course delves into planning and implementing vSAN clusters, addressing key aspects such as requirements, storage consumption, networking capabilities, and best practices for networking configurations. Attendees will also learn how to deploy and configure vSAN clusters using the Cluster QuickStart wizard, as well as manually using the vSphere Client. Finally, attendees will explore stretched and two-node vSAN clusters, learning about their architectures, use cases, and the benefits of vSphere HA and VMware Site Recovery Manager in a stretched vSAN cluster. This course helps prepare for the VMware Certified Specialist vSAN 2024 Certification exam .
