Where to learn about VMware products?

jjohnson0000 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:24:16 GMT

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I can go to find more information on Vmware products, such as more in depth information on things like HA and Vmotion and just all of the infastructure products in general?

As well as things like certifications, what they cover, where to get them, what types there are etc?

Basically I'm wondering if there is a central location for all of this?

I took a virtualization class at a college earlier this year, and most of it was on virtualization. I am also a customer as well, and manage multiple ESX servers in a Virtual Infastructure, but I don't really have access to a lot of material to learn more about it all other than searching the web or the forums for issues that come up when they come up.

So can anyone tell me where can I find this type of information aside from going through forums and hoping I come across a thread with something good in it?

Thanks

This document on vSphere should get you started: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_intro_vs.pdf

The full vSphere documentation can be found at: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vs_pages/vsp_pubs_esx40_vc40.html

See Scott links, and also VMware site for specific technology's documents:

http://www.vmware.com/products/high-availability/

http://www.vmware.com/products/vmotion/

Also if you working for a VMware partner, you can find a lot of documentation in Partner Network and Partner University.
