You learn how to install and configure VMware Horizon® Connection Server™, VMware Unified Access Gateway™, how to configure a load balancer for use with Horizon, and how to establish Cloud Pod Architecture.

As organizations adopt cloud and virtual infrastructure at scale, VMware vSAN™ remains the backbone of hyperconverged deployments. This training course teaches you to plan and deploy a production-ready vSAN cluster, with a deep focus on operational efficiency, security, and ongoing maintenance. You’ll build the skills to configure, manage, and troubleshoot vSAN environments using VMware vSphere, while gaining experience with vSAN architecture, storage policy design, and advanced cluster maintenance techniques—all reinforced through hands-on labs and real-world scenarios.
