Course Description

Virtualization helps users make the most out of their IT environments by allowing a single server to run multiple servers or desktop operating systems. The Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA) certification assures system administrators have the right skills and knowledge to successfully manage these virtual solutions.

Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA) is a certification program for virtualization administrators and is performance-based, like all other Red Hat Certifications. Virtualization provides greater IT efficiency and reduces capital & operational costs, by running multiple operating systems within a single server system. Cost and operational efficiencies make virtualization a hot favorite to data centers and other businesses, thus creating a huge demand for Virtualization Administrators.
