5 Day(s)
10:00 - 17:00
VMware Horizon 8.x Professional
This five-day intensive training gives you the ability to deliver virtual desktops and applications through a single virtual desktop infrastructure platform. With the combination of this training, lesson and hands-on labs, Horizon 7 improves your setup, configuration and management skills.
You will learn how to configure and deploy virtual machine pools, how to manage the access and security of machines, and learn how you can provide end users with a customized desktop environment.
By using App Volumes and Dynamic Environment Manager, you improve your application management skills. You learn how to use App Volumes to present apps and data to desktops and users in seconds and on scale.
You also learn how to use Dynamic Environment Manager to provide personalization and dynamic policy configuration in virtual, physical and cloud-based environments to simplify end-user profile management.
At the end of the training, participants can take the title of VMware Professional Horizon 7.7 exam (VCP-DTM-2020).
