15 Reasons to obtain virtualization training from Virtualization University (VU)
  1. Instructor led training takes far less time to absorb than a 400 page IT manual?
  2. VU training is a great supplement to assist you on your path to VCP certification.
  3. VU’s instructor is a former staff VMware Senior Consultant with thousands of hours of virtualization experience and is heavily involved in this industry.
  4. VU’s instructor is a former VCI (VMware Certified Instructor) who was extremely highly-rated by students during his time at VMware.
  5. Our lead instructor, Larry Loucks, has years of instructional experience teaching such courses as Cisco CCNA, Novell authorized courses,  Microsoft authorized courses and many others.
  6. Larry Loucks has 23 years of real-world experience working in the industry as a consultant, IT manager and engineer.
  7. The training purchased from VU can be viewed as many times as you like.  Forgot a procedure?  No problem, simply review it in your training.
  8. VU is a site dedicated to providing virtualization training.  We didn’t hire a random instructor to add to our collection of 60 other unrelated courses.  We are professionals and experts in virtualization.
  9. Just one of the best practices or real-world tips in this course can save your organization money and frustration far in excess of the reasonable cost of this course.
  10. You can easily spend $5000 on a week of virtualization training and travel.  VU provides you with solid virtualization training for the cost of a couple of IT books.
  11. This training can be view in “bite-sized-chunks” in your environment on your network.  Watch and implement with expert guidance.
  12. Ever go to an IT training class only to find that the course has a lot of irrelevant or aged material that doesn’t really matter in the real-world?  At VU we’ve done our best to “trim away the fat” and give you nothing but relevant, effective, essential material.
  13. VU training is not about some instructor reading a bunch of power point slides to you.  Of course there is lecture material here but we’ve included many labs showing you procedures in vCenter and ESX server
  14. We listen to your suggestions.  Let us know how we can improve and if we get enough requests for some modification we do our best to implement where it makes sense to do so.
  15. Save time, save money, do things right.  Watch this training first to build a solid foundation then implement.
Read this recent review from a seasoned I.T. Professional

"I have been in IT for over 20 years and dealt with many training solutions: classroom, DVD, books, etc.

Rarely is a package so well organized and presented with just the right amount of explanation, not too techy, not overly simplified, that it can be used in so many ways by the IT department: from proof of concept and development of corporate buy-in to training, implementation and troubleshooting. The author has a great deal of experience with VMWare and answers many questions before they get asked.

I used many of the author's examples to sell the concepts and principles of virtualization to our executive team. They were glad to spend the money after fully understanding the benefits and the ROI that comes from virtualization.

With the live installation and configuration screens, you get to see what you will experience before touching VMWare. I found this an excellent reference before, during and after our company's VMWare migration.

These DVD's were one of my installation resources and were never far from my laptop. The modular training made it easy to review exactly what I was dealing with during the migration. Of course, it was required viewing for our engineers and they were very pleased with the material.

I would recommend this product as a resource for those looking to implement VMWare as well as anyone that already has a VMWare shop and wishes their engineers to become more aware of the features and functionality VMWare has to offer."
