Overview

About this course

Scale and fine-tune vSphere 7 for larger, busier environments. You will configure distributed switches with Network I/O Control, port mirroring and NetFlow, understand how VMFS and the vSphere storage APIs support performance, and manage certificates and identity federation with Microsoft ADFS. You will also tune CPU performance with esxtop and a clear understanding of NUMA and vNUMA, secure encrypted VMs with Trust Authority, keep hosts compliant with host profiles and deploy VMs from content libraries.
