VCP5-DCV Official Cert Training

The VCP5-DCV Official Cert Training for Exam VCP550 is for anyone who wants to get the delta of information from the previous VCP510 exam in order to procure the VCP-DCV Certification.
Description:
As the demand for IT professionals with data center virtualization skills increases, having a VMware certification helps to distinguish you in the IT professional market. Per VMware, “Having a VCP-DCV certification confirms that you have the education needed to successfully install, deploy, scale and manage VMware vSphere environments, as well as the skills obtained by a minimum of six months experience with VMware infrastructure technologies.”
At VMworld 2013 VMware announced vSphere 5.5, the latest release of VMware’s industry-leading virtualization platform. No trivial update, this release included a lot of improvements and many new features and capabilities. Covering the official blueprint, bestselling author and VCI (VMware Certified Trainer) Bill Ferguson is ready to get you up-to-speed on the changes made in vSphere 5.5.
For a thorough and complete VCP5 certification self-study program, covering all new content as well as foundation topics, combine this VCP5-DCV Official Cert Training with The Official VCP5 Certification Guide (VMware Press).
