Nutanix® Enterprise Cloud Platform Administration 5.0

Duration: 4 Days Course Code: GK5841

Overview:

The Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform Administration course covers all the tasks that Nutanix administrators perform on the job. Beginningwith setting up the environment, it walks the participant through the process of configuring and maintaining that environment.

After introducing the basic concepts of the Enterprise Cloud Platform, participants will understand how to rack a Nutanix block, install andconfigure a cluster, and use different interfaces to manage a cluster.

The program then delves into the details of managing VMs in Acropolis, monitoring cluster health and performance, protecting data andoptimizing cluster capacity, and performining in-place hypervisor conversion. Various failure scenarios in datacenters are presented andparticipants will learn how to implement strategies to safeguard their data.

Participants will also understand how to use Nutanix’s Prism interface to monitor and manage multiple activities across clusters, review andanalyze resource needs, and assess future resource requirements.

The program also covers basic Nutanix troubleshooting tools, including how to solve common problems and when to escalate to Nutanixsupport. Finally, participants will learn essential lifecycle operations, covering starting and stopping a cluster, shutting down nodes, expanding acluster, upgrading the Acropolis software and firmware, and maintaining licensing.

Target Audience:

Primary audience: IT administrators, architects, and business leaders who need to manage Nutanix clusters in the datacenter. Anyone seekingbaseline preparation for the Nutanix Platform Professional (NPP) certifcation.

Secondary audience: Managers and technical staff seeking more detailed information before making a purchase decision.
