This course prepares you for the VMware vSAN Specialist v2 certification (5V0-22.23), focusing on hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), storage virtualization, cluster management, performance optimization, and troubleshooting. Designed for virtualization engineers, storage administrators, data center specialists, and cloud professionals, it aligns with official VMware exam objectives and equips you with the skills to deploy, manage, and optimize vSAN-based environments effectively.

The course covers vSAN architecture, configuration, and operations, enabling you to manage high-performance storage for modern workloads. You’ll gain expertise in storage policy management, fault tolerance, deduplication, encryption, and vSAN cluster optimization while learning best practices for integrating vSAN with vSphere and VMware Cloud Foundation.

Key topics include:

• vSAN 8.x architecture: components, features, and deployment models

• Cluster setup & management: configuring, expanding, and maintaining vSAN clusters

• Storage policy-based management (SPBM): defining performance, capacity, and fault-tolerance rules

• Data protection & availability: RAID configurations, fault domains, and stretched clusters

• Performance optimization: monitoring storage health and tuning workloads

• Security features: enabling encryption, securing data at rest, and access controls

• Integration with vSphere & VMware Cloud Foundation

• Troubleshooting tools & techniques: resolving storage, performance, and connectivity issues
