Kursbeskrivning: IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance Technical Overview

NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE SELF-PACED VIRTUAL COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.

Self-paced virtual courses provide the same deep technical content as our classroom courses, but allow you to learn on your own schedule. You can stop and start a Self-Paced Virtual class as needed during the 60-day access period.

There is no live instructor for this course, so it may not be appropriate for you to require the guidance of a live instructor.

Course Overview:

This six-hour self-paced virtual class teaches you the skills they need to configure and monitor virtual systems deployed to private cloud environments using the IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance.

The WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance is the first hardware appliance of its kind. Preloaded with WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition, it provides access to WebSphere Application Server virtual images and patterns so that application environments can be quickly and easily created, and securely deployed and managed in a private cloud.

The course begins by providing you with an introduction to the key concepts of clouds and cloud computing, as well as its technical and business benefits and challenges. Youw will learn how the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance can help organizations handle the business opportunities that cloud computing enables for the enterprise. You will also learn how the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance and WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition address provisioning virtual systems into cloud environments.

After the introductory units, the course explains how to deploy, configure, and manage cloud environments with the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance. You will learn how to create, deploy, and monitor virtual systems created from predefined patterns, and how to complete the initial physical and firmware configurations for the CloudBurst Appliance. You will also learn about the networking and storage requirements for implementing a VMware ESX cloud environment used by the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance, and how to configure cloud resources such as hypervisors and IP groups. Additionally, you will learn resource management procedures for both virtual systems and the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance.

Product demonstrations provided throughout the course reinforce the content in the streaming lectures, and give you additional insight into configuring and monitoring cloud resources and virtual systems. Topics covered by the demonstrations include configuring the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance and cloud resources, creating virtual systems, managing resources, and performing recovery procedures. You will learn how to configure product licenses on the appliance and configure SNMP from the console. You will also learn how to create multi-image patterns from disparate image parts, manage dynamic virtual machines from the console, and customize, clone, and deploy an Intelligent Management Pack enabled pattern.
