VMware Horizon View 8.X with VMware vSphere

The problem with most VMware Horizon View classes is that they present Horizon View as if it were a standalone product. VMware Horizon View requires integration with VMware vSphere! Only our VMware Horizon View 8 WITH VMware vSphere class teaches students everything they need to know to install and use VMware Horizon View including the required integrations with VMware vSphere. _ Our VMware Horizon View 8 WITH VMware vSphere class offers participants the most extensive training available in the real-world Installation, Configuration and Management of VMware® Horizon View™ 8. Each participant will work hands-on to build and administrate their own complete VMware® Horizon View™ 8 environment from the ground up. _ Our class offers participants a more comprehensive experience than other classes because each student gets to install and configure a complete VMware® vSphere™ environment designed and optimized specifically to support Virtual Desktops. _ In our class, in addition to VMware Horizon View, you will cover important vSphere topics such as: • VMware vSphere Architecture for Horizon View • vSphere Optimizations for Horizon View • VMware Unified Access Gateway • Multifactor Authentication (MFA) integration • Licensing for Horizon View  _ Once the infrastructure has been provisioned, participants install VMware® Horizon View™ 8 and begin the process of learning how to maximize their administrative efficiency while managing VMware® Horizon View™ 8 environments while maintaining the highest levels of Virtual Desktop security. During class we focus on real-world Virtual Desktop deployment scenarios using the available GUI tools; the vSphere Client, vCenter Server, and the Horizon View Manager. _ The VMware® Horizon View™ 8 Virtual Desktop Deployment class features over 45 hands-on Step-By-Step Labs (SBS LAB™), complete with detailed instructions, full-color documentation and screenshots of all steps. Over 60% of class time is spent doing labs! The book alone is sure to become one of the most valued reference materials in your library GOALS This class and our book provide a detailed Step by Step real-world procedure for installing, configuring and managing VMware Horizon View and Application Pools, including SSL/Certificates for Horizon View! The book will become a long-lasting roadmap and manual for specific procedures which must be regularly attended to with Horizon View. There is no more valuable real-world training than our VMware Horizon View 8 WITH VMware vSphere.
