Benefits To You

During this course, the student examines various aspects of planning for implementing server virtualization in an enterprise environment. Throughout the course, students practice server virtualization by performing a series of guided hands-on labs that walk the student through the critical tasks associated with server and network virtualization activities. These labs include case studies that showcase best practices when deploying Oracle Solaris Zones server virtualization technology. This course does not address system virtualization related tasks specific to Solaris 10 (or other) operating systems. Rather, it focuses on the virtualization technology as implemented in the Oracle Solaris 11 operating system. It assumed that the student already has the skills and knowledge necessary for administering Oracle Solaris 11.
