This class assumes that you have some experience with VMware vSphere (any version). Attendees should also have user, operator or administrator experience on common operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux™, Mac OS/X, etc. Experience installing, configuring and managing operating systems, storage and / or networks is helpful but not required. We assume that all attendees have a basic familiarity with PC server hardware, disk partitioning, IP addressing, O/S installation, networking, etc. As this is a more advanced course, we recommend that attendees have basic familiarity with either Windows or Linux command line interfaces and scripting tools (e.g.: Windows PowerShell or Linux BASH).
