Demo: Roles In this video, I’ll demonstrate how to create roles in the Vs fair Web client. So here I’m at the home screen of the Vsfair web client and I can click on roles. And under roles, you can see there are going to be certain roles that are pre built, predefined roles that are automatically included. So, for example, we’ve got the administrator role. And what a role is, is simply a set of privileges. It’s a list of things that you can do. Like, for example, can…

vSphere Replication and Site Recovery Manager In this video I’ll explain Vsphere replication and how we can use it to maintain a copy of critical data at a recovery site. And we’ll also take a little time to talk about Site Recovery Manager as well. These two solutions really go hand in hand with each other. So the role of Vsphere replication is to keep, keep a current copy of our data at a remote location and it’s vendor agnostic, it’s storage agnostic. So it can work with any of…

High Availability In this video, we’ll learn about Vsphere high Availability and how it can be used to protect our virtual machines from an ESXi host failure. So the purpose of High Availability is to protect our virtual machines from failures, but it does not provide 100% uptime. Ha is going to involve virtual machines re booting. It’s going to involve virtual machines potentially being down for a little while. If something like an ESXi host failure occurs, there is going to be an outage associated with that. What Ha…

Virtual Switch Features In this video we’ll learn about some of the features that can be provided with Vsfair Standard and Vs Fare Distributed Virtual Switches. And some of these features are unique to the Distributed Switch only. So with Vsfair, there’s two different types of virtual switches. The standard Virtual Switch comes with all licensing editions and it has a basic feature set, whereas the Visa Distributed Switch has an enhanced feature set and is only available with the Enterprise Plus Licensing Edition. So I’ll differentiate between the two…

Virtual Networking In this video, we’ll explain some of the concepts behind virtual networking and how our virtual machines can connect to other resources, either within the same ESXi host or possibly even resources connected to our physical network. So, how do virtual machines actually handle transmitting and receiving network traffic? Well, in many ways, they work exactly the same way that a physical machine does. So, here we see a virtual machine, and it has a network interface card just like any other network connected machine. But in this…

vSphere Use Cases In this video we’ll explore Vsphere six virtual machine concepts and the VMware certified associate exam is still focused on Vsphere six. So we’re not really going to get into any specifics when it comes to Vsphere six five in this or any other lesson in this course. So virtual machine is very similar to physical machine in many ways. A virtual machine has an operating system installed on it and that operating system needs access to CPU, to memory, network interface cards and storage. And the…

vSAN Basic Architecture And the first use case is business critical applications. So with VCN, we can choose between either a hybrid or an allflash configuration. In the hybrid configuration, we’re still using traditional magnetic hard disks. In an allflash configuration, we’ve completely eliminated hard disks. And as a result, we can deliver extremely fast performance up to 150,000 IOPS per ESXi host with latencies under a millisecond in some cases. And more than 60% of VMware customers use vSAN according to the VMware website. So it’s a great way…

Intro to NSX And NSX exists in order to virtualize key network functions. So what does that mean? NSX can be used to create logical switches, to create logical routers, to create firewalls, to set up edge routers that can do things like load balancing and network address translation and VPN. NSX also features integration with a great deal of third party solutions, making it an extremely powerful and extremely customizable solution for networking. It also features a Rest API for cloud management platforms so that we can automate and…

Introduction to Horizon 7 So a traditional physical desktop deployment comes with some significant challenges. We’ve got physical computers deployed for each and every one of our employees and managing that many individual systems can really create some hardships. Like how do I manage my image for all of these physical desktops? How do I change that image do when I need to? How do I deploy new software easily. How do I deploy an upgraded operating system easily. How often do I need to actually replace all of those…

Access Control Hey everyone and welcome back. In today’s video we will be discussing about the access control in Splunk. Now, depending upon the use cases and the requirements you might have, the way in which you should be taking care of segregating the data or using access control will depend. So let’s take an example where you have an extremely sensitive data, where even having access to the system might involve legal risk. Now, for such type of use cases, it is recommended to use an isolated separate Splunk…
