Today VMware is the choice of every IT professional to create and manage virtual machines. It is leading a way in the transformation of IT infrastructure from physical equipments to a virtual, software solutions. VMware is basically a cloud computing and virtualization software provider for X86 or IBM compatible servers or computers. It hosts another operating system in such a manner that each operating system acts as if it is installed on as an own contained system with hardware resources and set of programs of its own.
Virtualization is at the heart of VMware’s one cloud, any application architecture or any device. This VMware Course introduces you to a VMware’s virtualization solution. It helps the participants to provide extendibility to virtualize applications and simplifying the virtual data centre.
