Module 1 : Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Concepts
Define and differentiate features and technologies present in Acropolis, Prism and Calm
• Explain the relationship between nodes, blocks and clusters
• Recognize the benefits of a Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure solution
• Differentiate between physical and logical cluster components
• Describe some of the primary AOS services running on the CVM
PKLS Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform Administration Training Course covers all the tasks that Nutanix administrators perform on the job. Beginning with setting up the environment, it walks the participant through the process of configuring and maintaining that environment. After introducing the basic concepts of the Enterprise Cloud Platform, participants will understand how to rack a Nutanix block, install and configure a cluster, and use different interfaces to manage a cluster. The Course also covers basic Nutanix troubleshooting tools, including how to solve common problems and when to escalate to Nutanix support.
Lecture : Instructor Led Lesson and Activites. This will cover the main objective of the course through Leactures , discussion and practical exercise.
Lab Exercise: Hands on lab exercise which helps aquire new skills and dive deeper to days new topic.
Q&A Session : 25 mts after each session - During the end of the session 25 minutes is dedicated for clarification on theroy and Lab session.
