The VMware NSX: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.4] training will teach you how to use firewall configurations, gateway services, and security services to optimize your NSX environment. It is known as the foundation for most of the other VMware technologies in the software-defined data center.
We, at Multisoft Systems, have designed this comprehensive training course for experienced system administrators, system engineers, and network administrators. The course we are offering details logical routing in order to enable the attendees for dynamically route between different virtual environments.
