I'm excited to let VMblog readers know that Train Signal and David Davis have launched a new vSphere Performance Video Training course.  The new course is jam packed with 14 hour of material that includes a whopping 40 lessons!  The new video training course focuses both on the VCAP-DCA blueprint (section 3 – DRS & Performance) as well as real-world vSphere troubleshooting.  Additionally, David provides a lot of content on third-party tools that most companies use to manage and monitor performance.

The course is delivered INSTANTLY via streaming web access (which is iPad compatible) and you’ll also receive a DVD in the mail for offline viewing.  The cost of the course is just $397 (about 1/10th the price of a similar classroom course) and they are so sure that you’ll enjoy watching it that there is a money-back guarantee.  Who can argue with that?

And if you act quickly, the first 50 customers to purchase the course will receive a free copy of the Duncan Epping and Frank Denneman’s HA/DRS Technical Deepdive book... also filled with outstanding content that will help you in your VMware career.
