VMware vSphere: Second class added, October 10-14

Due to popular demand, Merit is pleased to host a second class of VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V5.0] in Ann Arbor on October 10-14, 2011. A small number of seats are still available for the October 3-7 class.

This hands-on training course explores installation, configuration and management of VMware vSphere, which consists of ESXi and vCenter Server. Completion of this course serves as a prerequisite for the VMware Certified Professional 5 exam. Note that this course has been updated from v4.1 to v.5.0 since it was first announced; the content is still fully relevant for users of vSphere 4.1, while ensuring certification for the new release.

Merit Members who register before September 9, 2011, can save an additional $200 off the already discounted Member registration price. VMware PSO credits may be used as payment for this class; see below for details.
