20745: Implementing a Software-Defined DataCenter Using System Center Virtual Machine Manager Training

20745: Implementing a Software-Defined Datacenter Using System Center Virtual Machine Manager Training provides professionals with the skills and knowledge to implement and handle the virtualization framework in a software-defined datacenter with the help of MS System Center 2016 Virtual Machine Manager. This technical course also demonstrates the techniques to inspect the framework by utilizing MS System Center Operation Manager and secure it with the help of MS System Center Data Protection Manager. It guides on management of the networking fabric and teaches how to build and handle virtual machines by utilizing Virtual Machine Manager. We have also developed an enterprise training program for corporate organizations. From managing clouds and service in Virtual and Machine Manger to implementing Hyper-V Replica, it covers all the essential elements.

This training is designed based on the objectives of the course variant 20745B.

• Explaining different options of virtualization.
• Installing and managing Hyper-V virtual machines on Windows Server (2016).
• Installing and configuring Virtual Machine Manager in System Center 2016.
• Managing Storage fabric
• Managing fabric updates.
• Configuring and managing VMM library and objects.
• Managing networking fabric.
• Using VMM to architect and manage virtual machines.
• Managing clouds in VMM.
• Managing services in VMM.
• Using Operations Manager to monitor virtualization infrastructure.
• Implementing and managing Azure Site Recovery and Hyper-V Replica.
• Using Data Protection Manager to protect virtualization infrastructure.

The course is created for IT pros and admins responsible for architecting, applying, and handling virtually in cloud or datacenter using System Center (2016) VMM. The primary focus is kept on teaching how to manage Hyper-V virtual infrastructure. The course describes other VMM based virtualization platforms as well. IT people wanting to select the ideal virtualization products in their data centers can also take this course.
