A few weeks back, Global Knowledge announced a new service called VMware Xtra. VMware Xtra is the brainchild of awarding winning Instructor Scott Vessey. Having already met Scott and regularly chatting with him I had a feeling that this will be good.
VMware Xtra is a selection of online resources to help you get the most from your VMware training courses. The online repository allows users access to support tools such as technical papers, industry experts and video tutorials.
Sound good hey? It's been a while since I have been on a course, the last time being the VMware 3.5 FastTrack course. Once the course had finished I was left with two large VMware course material books and a fuzzy head full of information trying to escape. Fortunately I had access to an ESX environment where I could practice everything we have learnt on the course and made that information stick. I had I not had this I really think I would have struggled with the VCP exam. This is where VMware Xtra will become critical for many students who don't have a VMware Cluster to pull apart and reconfigure.
Once logged in I am presented with a basic summary of the course that I would be attending, In my case: vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage There is a link to a video hosted by Scott Vessey which gives an in-depth Instructors View of the course. This is great if you've been booked onto the course, but aren't really sure what to expect from it.
There are currently 3 parts to the Post-Course Content, Xtra Videos, Xtra Demonstrations and Exam Questions.
