VMware Training for ESX Server Description
VMware's virtualization technology has infiltrated every data center from coast to coast one way or another, whether its for test and development or for production, ESX Server has become the industry standard for virtualization in the enterprise.

We have created a VMware training for ESX Server on DVD-ROM that will help you learn this fantastic technology on screen and in the convenience of your home or office. You can also use this CBT to reinforce your ESX knowledge if you are planning on taking the Virtual Infrastructure 3 test for certification purposes or if you are just interested in learning how to build, deploy and maintain an ESX environment in your organization. For those of you that are seeking certification, you are still required to attend the VMware class as that is a mandatory step in achieving your certification. You can use our CBT to reinforce what you learned. If you are trying to learn VMware Infrastructure 3 because of a job requirement, this CBT gives you practical, hands on training from someone who does it on a day to day basis and has implemented some large ESX deployments.
