of delivering training for Microsoft technologies, bringing together
the expertise from both QA-IQ and Xpertise.
To ensure that Partners were able to quickly acquire the skills
they needed, QA delivered a set of three core courses:
24
One-day Hyper-V technical overview: providing the skills to implement,
maintain, and troubleshoot Hyper-V and VMM 2008 in an enterprise
environment, focusing on a technical overview of Hyper-V including
licensing, architecture and virtual machines. It also introduced System
Center Virtual Machine Manager
Two-day ‘deep dive’ technical course: an in-depth hands-on course for
experienced Windows Server operating system users
Two-day course for VMware experts: this migration course trains
Microsoft and VMware partners to consolidate the physical or virtual
VMware infrastructure into a flexible, dynamic and low-cost Microsoft
Dynamic Datacenter
To create the most effective courses for its public schedule, QA
has combined the three-day Implementing and Managing
Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V (M6422) with the three-day
Deploying and Managing Microsoft System Center Virtual
Machine Manager (M6422) to create a five-day fast-track
programme. This means that organisations can ensure their
teams quickly have the skills to install Hyper-V efficiently through
SCVMM as well as managing the ongoing deployment and
support for the technology.
These courses are designed to provide System Administrators
working with Windows Server 2008 with the skills to manage and
implement Server Virtualisation technologies within their network,
or for Enterprise System Architects planning enterprise server
resources with an emphasis on server consolidation. They also
support consultants or integrators planning Enterprise VMM
implementations as well as advanced VMM administrators.
QA provides a full range of Microsoft Official Curriculum courses
for Windows Server 2008 and virtualisation technologies.
