Hello,
If one has experience in Vmware administration (over 5 Years) starting from ESX 3.5 and now the goal is certification, which course is better:
VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage plus Optimize and Scale Fast Track or VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage ?
Any suggestion on training from Vmware vs. external vendors?
Thanks,
Since you're already experienced my recommendation is take the Optimize and Scale or the Troubleshooting class. And about the VMware vs. external vendors, for the last two years I only take virtual classroom directly from VMware, it saves a lot of expenses, that may include travel and hotel expenses.
Here are the list of required training:
I have to agree, ditch the Install configure manage course. If you have been working with the product for any significant amount of time you wont find much value added in that course. It certainly wont prepare you for the exam.
