What you'll learn

Virtualized infrastructure depends heavily on properly configured networking, storage, and software-defined technologies to support reliable and scalable operations. In this course, Virtual Networking and Storage Fundamentals, you’ll gain the ability to understand and configure the core networking and storage components used within modern hypervisor platforms. First, you'll explore how virtual switches, VLANs, port groups, and NIC teaming function to provide segmentation, redundancy, and connectivity for virtual workloads. Next, you’ll discover how storage architectures such as DAS, NAS, and SAN support virtualization environments and how shared datastores enable centralized storage access across hosts. Finally, you’ll learn how software-defined networking technologies, overlay networks, and micro-segmentation extend traditional networking concepts within modern virtualized infrastructure. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to understand and manage foundational virtual networking and storage technologies within enterprise virtualization environments.
