Wenn Sie bereits Erfahrung mit der Verwaltung einer Nutanix-Umgebung haben, wird dieser Kurs Ihr Wissen erweitern, vertiefen und erweitern, während Sie in Ihrer Karriere als Nutanix-Administrator wachsen.

Mit Prism Central als Schwerpunkt veranschaulicht dieser Kurs die Breite und Tiefe der zentralisierten Verwaltungsfunktionen von Nutanix und ermöglicht es Ihnen, die große Vielfalt der Funktionen zu erkunden, die in dieser einzigen Webkonsole verfügbar sind.

Der ECA ist in vier große Abschnitte unterteilt:

1. Verständnis der Kernkonzepte von Nutanix, wie hyperkonvergente Infrastruktur (HCI) und die verschiedenen Nutanix Cloud-Lösungspakete. Außerdem die Grundkonfiguration eines Clusters und die Komponenten, die für die Erstellung und Verwaltung von VMs benötigt werden - nämlich Netzwerke und Images.
2. Erstellen und Verwalten von VMs, Schutz von VMs und deren Daten, Anwendung von Speicheroptimierungsfunktionen auf VM-Ebene und Migration Ihrer Workloads in eine Nutanix-Umgebung.
3. Informieren Sie sich über Warnungen, Ereignisse, Protokollerfassung, Berichte und die Verwendung verschiedener Funktionen in Prism Central, um Leistungsprobleme zu erkennen, zu analysieren und zu beheben.
4. Erfahren Sie, wie Sie einen Cluster für Wartungsaktivitäten einrichten - wie das Starten und Stoppen von Knoten und Clustern - und wie Sie Lizenzen und installierte Software mit wenigen Klicks verwalten und aktualisieren können.
