This course prepares you for the VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design certification (3V0-21.23), focusing on enterprise-level vSphere architecture, solution design, capacity planning, scalability, security, automation, and performance optimization. Designed for solution architects, senior virtualization engineers, consultants, and data center specialists, it aligns with official VMware exam objectives and equips you with the expertise to design and implement complex vSphere environments for large-scale enterprise workloads.

The course dives deep into vSphere 8.x advanced design principles, teaching you how to plan, size, and architect vSphere clusters for optimal performance and resiliency. You’ll also learn to integrate vSphere with supporting technologies such as vSAN, NSX, Aria Suite, and VMware Cloud Foundation, ensuring seamless multi-cloud operations.

Key topics include:

• Advanced vSphere 8.x architecture & design: components, deployment models, and scalability strategies

• Capacity planning: optimizing compute, storage, and network resources

• High availability & disaster recovery: designing for resilience and business continuity

• Performance optimization: monitoring workloads, tuning resources, and improving efficiency

• Security & compliance: designing zero-trust architectures and secure infrastructure policies

• Automation & orchestration: leveraging Aria Suite, vSphere APIs, and policy-driven provisioning

• Multi-cloud integration: extending vSphere into hybrid and public cloud environments

• Troubleshooting & diagnostics: resolving complex architectural and operational issues
