Virtualization Level 1: Proxmox VE & Microsoft Hyper-V

This training provides the essential fundamentals for preparing, installing and administering a simple virtualization infrastructure. It begins with the preparation of an HP ProLiant server: hardware components, RAID, iLO and basic configuration. Participants then discover Proxmox VE for 2 days and then Microsoft Hyper-V for 3 days, with an approach strongly focused on hands-on practice.
