4/5

"Learning VMware ESXi and vSphere 5.1 Administration by Glen Martin"
Very good hands-on training on ESXi related administration, useful for everyone including Solution Architects and System Integration Architects apart from system administrators to understand VMware's virtualization tools. The training covered fundamental working knowledge on below areas:
You can look at topic index for more details

• vCenter, vSphere, ESXi topology
• ESXi installation, vCenter installation
• Virtual Storage fundamentals
• Virtual Network fundamentals
• Creating a Virtual Machine
• DRS
• HA
• vMotion
• Storage vMotion
• Performance tuning
• vCenter Update Manager fundamentals and installation
• VMware Update Manager
• Data protection and security

The instructions were clear and concise. The oration  appeared to fast forwarded, limiting pauses in between all segments, leaving the audience a bit stressed. This is not a replacement for VMware documentation by any means, but is definitely a very good view for howto on VMware tools. Further reading and training is necessary if you came in researching the Performance aspects of virtualization.
