VMware VATC Logo

Bitte beachten Sie: Durch die Übernahme von Broadcom wurde das VMware Kursportfolio für die überarbeitete Go-to-Market-Strategie optimiert. Der Fokus liegt künftig auf dem VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-Portfolio. Alle Kurse, die nicht dazu gehören, werden am 1. März 2024 in den Status "End of Availability" (EOA) überführt. Somit ist dieser Kurs ab diesem Zeitpunkt bis auf weiteres nur noch auf Anfrage möglich.

Dieser Advanced Kurs wird direkt von VMware durchgeführt.

VMware Horizon® 8: Virtual Desktop BootCamp is a five-day combination course of VMware Horizon 8: Skills for Virtual Desktop Management and VMware Horizon 8: Virtual Desktop Troubleshooting. This training combination gives you the skills to deliver virtual desktops and applications through a single virtual desktop infrastructure platform.

You build skills in configuring and managing VMware Horizon 8 through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs. You learn how to configure and deploy pools of virtual machines and how to provide a customized desktop environment to end-users. Additionally, you learn how to resolve common issues that occur in a VMware Horizon environment.

You engage in a series of lab exercises to bring existing environment issues to resolution. The exercises mirror real-world troubleshooting use cases. These exercises equip learners with the knowledge and practical skills to manage typical challenges faced by virtual desktop administrators and operators.
