Description

Silverfern IT and VMware have organised an interactive hands-on lab. This one-day workshop is a great way to learn more about vSAN and vSphere, with experts guiding you step-by-step through technical features, functions, and specific business use cases.

It will also be a good opportunity for us all to take the next step on the Digital Foundation Journey with vSAN. vSAN, the only vSphere native storage, seamlessly evolves your datacenter with no new tools while protecting existing investments. vSAN has the industry’s largest ecosystem to run on your preferred infrastructure from over 15 OEM server vendors, a turnkey appliance, Dell EMC VxRail, and native HCI-as-a-Service from AWS. Cloud ubiquity eliminates specialized skills and provides a true hybrid cloud instantly with hundreds of public cloud providers. Native security protects data-at-rest and in-motion, and integration with the SDDC stack provides additional networking security options.

Objectives: 

In our module-based sessions, you'll experience this radically simple, enterprise-class shared storage solution for hyper-converged infrastructure optimized for vSphere virtual machines.

During the lab, you'll learn about:

  • How easy it is to enable vSAN and use it to store your VMs
  • The latest features like All-Flash configurations, deduplication and compression, and RAID 5/6 erasure encoding
  • New Sparse VM Swap Object, vSAN Stretched Cluster and ROBO
  • vSphere 6.7, How To Upgrade
  • vSphere features and integration with vSAN
