VMware vCloud NFV with vCloud Director

( Duration: 5 Days )

This VMware vCloud NFV with vCloud Director training course discusses Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), a network architecture concept that specifies how virtualization technologies can be used to virtualize network service functions. This course also covers interfacing VMware vCloud Director with other systems using various APIs and the integration and use of VMware vCloud Availability for vCloud Director. You will also understand how to manage multisite, cross-VDC (Virtual Data Center) networking for vCloud Director and how to configure Central Point of Management (CPOM) to define a software-defined datacenter (SDDC) for tenant and provider users of vCloud Director. This course also discusses how to monitor various vCloud Director objects using VMware vRealize Operations, Tenant vApp, and VMware vRealize Log Insight.

By attending VMware vCloud NFV with vCloud Director workshop, delegates will learn to:

  • Describe the VMware vCloud NFV architecture
  • Describe the vCloud Director architecture as Virtualized Infrastructure Manager (VIM)
  • Secure the deployment of multivendor virtual network functions (VNFs) on the vCloud NFV platform
  • Manage vCloud Director to support NFV workloads in a secure, multitenant environment
  • Configure VMware vSAN to enable multiple tiers in provider virtual data centers
  • Create and manage vCloud Director organizations and vApps to satisfy business needs
  • Create and manage vCloud Director catalogs
  • Use advanced services to manage VMware NSX from vCloud Director

  • Attend a training on VMware vCloud Director: Fundamentals or equivalent practical experience
  • Attend a training on VMware vSAN and HCI Fundamentals or equivalent practical experience
  • Attend a training on VMware Network Virtualization Fundamentals or equivalent practical experience
  • Substantial knowledge of TCP/IP networking is helpful.

The VMware vCloud NFV with vCloud Director class is ideal for:

  • Customers, cloud architects, systems engineers, data center administrators, and cloud administrators with experience in managed services or managing a service provider environment
