XCP-ng training
Online training: Installation, configuration
and maintenance of XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra
A one-day practical online training course conducted by our expert in server virtualization. During the course, participants will learn how to install and configure the XCP-ng virtualizer and the Xen Orchestra management tool from scratch. The training covers not only basic topics such as creating and managing virtual machines, but also best and proven practices for maintaining, monitoring, and securing the production environment.
After completing the course, participants will be ready to independently implement and manage XCP-ng infrastructure in their organization.
