Things just don’t slow down here in the Hands-on Labs. We are in the middle of lab development for VMworld Europe but want to get your hands on the new content from VMworld 2014 US as soon as we can. After publishing the initial set yesterday, we are releasing 5 more new SDDC labs that showcase some of the high-value IT Outcomes that your organization can achieve with VMware software.
Four of these new labs replace similar labs in the current catalog with updated software and content. The lab development teams have done another fantastic job and these new labs are definitely worth a look. As we replace the 2013 labs, they are moved to the HOL Archives catalog and slated for retirement in December. I have called out the replaced labs here so that you can see what is new and what will be retiring.
Please enjoy the following new and updated labs:
HOL-SDC-1405 – High Availability and Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery
(replaces HOL-SDC-1305)
 |
VMware Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) solutions drive automation, efficiency, data protection, and validation of an organization’s enterprise-level BC/DR strategy. |
HOL-SDC-1412 – Consolidated and Standardized Data Center
 |
This lab focuses on taking the traditional benefits of vSphere and extending it further into your Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) through Software-Defined Storage using Virtual SAN and network virtualization using NSX for vSphere. |
HOL-SDC-1413 – Faster Delivery of Infrastructure and Apps through Automation
(replaces HOL-SDC-1313)
 |
Reduce time to deliver applications and infrastructure with automated provisioning and policy-based governance throughout the service delivery lifecycle. |
HOL-SDC-1415 – Policy-Based Compliance and Network Security
(replaces HOL-SDC-1315)
 |
Learn how several VMware technologies work together to implement policy-based network control, configuration and compliance management, and intelligent operations management. |
HOL-SDC-1416 – Intelligent Operations Management
(replaces HOL-SDC-1316)
 |
Use the VMware vCloud Suite to manage Business Critical Applications (BCA). See how applications such as Microsoft SQL and Exchange can be managed using vCenter Operations Manager (vCOps) with data from vCenter Infrastructure Navigator (VIN), vCenter Hyperic, and vCloud Air. Walk through monitoring, capacity and performance management, application grouping, super metrics and more. |
Come back next week for more networking and storage labs including NSX, VSAN and VVOL. As indicated in a previous post, our VMware partner solution labs will be released in about two weeks.
Be sure to join us in October in Barcelona, Spain for VMworld 2014 Europe and more VMware Hands-on Labs. At the event, you will have the opportunity to meet with the product experts responsible for the labs and participate in Expert-led Workshops for a guided experience through your lab.
Thank you for your support of VMware Hands-on Labs
