VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.5]

You will learn how to install, configure, and manage VMware vSphere 6.5, which includes VMware ESXi 6.5 and VMware vCenter Server 6.5 and also learn how to administer a vSphere infrastructure for all sizes of organizations. It is the foundation for most other VMware technologies in the software-defined data center.
