HP Blade PCs and Blade Workstations are Remote Client Solutions that provide end users with fully functional and personalized desktops delivered via a connection to a blade in a centralized data center.

Even though it is remotely located, each end user is given a dedicated blade to help ensure they each get the consistent performance they need. End users can access their personalized environments, applications, and data from almost anywhere they can connect to their network.

This instructor led course provides a technical experience of the HP Blade PC and Blade Workstation end-to-end solutions, including the PC and Workstation blade hardware, the client devices to connect to the blade, the enclosure infrastructure, and the accompanying software such as HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) and HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM). This course consists of two parts:

HP Blade PC-Workstation Essentials Part 1 (HG817S 2 day course) consists of two full days of live online training on the solution, and is held in the HP Virtual Rooms with a lecture only delivery format.

The 5 days instructor-led HG818S HP Blade PC-Workstation Essentials Part II (this course) consists of extensive hands-on labs that provide practice installing, configuring, and using the solutions. Part II gives students more technical detail and an opportunity to apply the concepts and knowledge presented during Part 1. In addition to implementing a demo-level solution of all components, we discuss higher-end alternatives at every step.

This course is designed to provide a technical experience of the HP Thin Client Solution. Specifically, it is designed to enable participants to successfully sell and/or service the HP Thin Client Solution. Furthermore, this course delves into the following areas:

• summary of remote computing functions,
• criteria for matching clients to customer requirements,
• appropriate identification and utilization of technology for a customer demonstration, and
• detailed information about each operating system and client implementation

This 4-day hands-on training course, aimed at experienced VMware Infrastructure 3 administrators, covers installation, configuration, and management of a VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) using VMware Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM). The course focuses on the delivery of virtual Windows® desktops using the VDM connection-server. This course is 50 percent lecture and 50 percent hands-on labs.

This 4-day hands-on training course explores how to design VMware Infrastructure architectures with a focus on manageability, availability, and scalability. This classroom training consists of 50% lecture and 50% design exercises.

This 1-day course is designed to introduce the student to VMware View. Students will learn about the use cases, functionality, features and benefits of View Manager. The course is approximately 60% lecture and 40% labs.
