I’ve got a special post for you today. I hope you enjoy.

First off, I’d like to congratulate longtime Train Signal instructor David Davis on his recent achievement … becoming a VMware Certified Professional (VCP)!

While David was busy working towards his VCP, amazingly he had enough time to put together a master piece of VMware Training for all of us.

I am pleased to announce David has finished Train Signal’s first VMware Training course: VMware Server and Workstation.

In this course, David delivers over 13 hours of step by step coverage of VMware Workstation and VMware Server products including topics like scripting, clustering, cloning, and optimizing.

If you are not already a Train Signal Newsletter Subscriber I suggest signing up today.

As an added bonus for newsletter subscribers only, I’m making the entire first video of the course available in tomorrow’s newsletter. If you’ve never seen first-hand what VMware can do, or if you don’t fully understand “Virtualization” … I think you’ll get a lot out of this video.

In later videos of the VMware course, David brushes over some very cool new features in Workstation 6.0 that allow you to not only record and playback video of your VMs, but also record and playback the actual actions you perform on the VM.

  Hi,

  Recently I’ve bought all Windows servers training courses and I am really happy with those. Looking for some more product asap, Like VMware, SQL server, Citrix server, Microsoft Operations Manager(MOM)and Microsoft Systems management servers.
  I really want to thank you again for these efforts that you guys are giving! But product line is too small.

  Best regards,
  Mohammad

  It took some time to find Trainsignal and when I did I was really impressed Scott’s approach to “show & tell” turned out to be, the best found bar none. Also tried some of Chris Bryants CCNA courses have run through the CCNA once and will be going back to run through again. And finally David’s Virtual server. It was interesting but really would like to see the meat of the course much like the approach used by Scott. After all that is what hooked me to start with:
  ActiveDir_Server2k&2k3
  Cisco_training
  Exchange_Server
  FileSrvr_2K&2K3
  ISA_NAT_ICS
  Routers_routing_protocols&PacketFilters
  VPN

  I’d more Windows Training, particularly ISA Server 2006 and SharePoint 2007.

  I have been a customer for about two years, and I am extremely happy with the products that TrainSignal delivers.

  I agree with the review by Rudy. David’s Virtual Server was interesting but really would also like to see the meat of the course. Scott’s approach is also what made me purchase the entire windows series.

  I must admit it is the best training currently on the planet!

  I am looking forward to products on Microsoft System Management and Microsoft Operation Management.

  Hi Greg & Rudy-

  Thank you all for the very kind words. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the free video on VMware. I am pleased to let you know that after the introduction videos to VMware the course itself has the same Train Signal method that Scott uses throughout the training library. David shows you how to do some really neat stuff with VMware products. There will be a demo that shows a bit more of the hands on style available on Trainsignal.com this coming week.

  Also, thank you for posting what topics you are interested. All the topics mentioned have and will be on our project draft board and I look forward to working to bring the best computer training on the planet for you on these topics in the future.

  Sincerely,
  Gary Eimerman

  I’ve been a proud follower of TrainSignal products. Ever since you surprised me with your excellent Win2K/2K3 training, I’ve been eagerly awaiting and purchasing your latest videos. They have helped me tremendously in both increasing my hand-on knowledge and improving my performance at work. My rapid promotions at work is a testament to your fine product. My greatest fear is outgrowing your product selection. Please add the following to your list of forthcoming products: Citrix CCEA, MS Clustering, MOM, SMS, VMWare ESX, and HP OpenView. I look forward to the day when your products can take the network admin to the next level.

  Hi Gunther-

  We are glad to hear our training has benefited you.

  I am happy to let you know that we are working very hard right now to expand our library even further and we will do our best to keep up with your blistering pace. On your list of course we’ve already started work on VMware ESX Server and a bundle of more great courses are in the works as we speak.

  Sincerely,
  Gary Eimerman

  Trainsignals keep up the good work-
  Keep the new Titles coming!
  (i.e. Citrix, ESX, SQL2005, Sharepoint)

  Question for Dave-
  In the new VMware series do you discuss setting up / configuring ISCSI?

  Thanks!

  July 25th, 2007 at 3:15 pm

  In response to Dan:

  iSCSI is not discussed in the VMware Server & Workstation video series but that will be a topic for the upcoming VMware ESX Server series.

  Thanks for your interest!

  When are you going to have VMware 3.0 server video?

  Hi Lorenzo,
  I’m happy to let you know that David Davis is working right now to follow up his great VMware Server course with the VMware ESX 3.0 course. Preproduction is already underway, and you can expect it to be released before the end of 2007. I hope that answers your question adequately.
  Thanks for choosing Train Signal!

  Bill Bullock

  Hello Bill,
  Couple of additional items Trainsignal could incorporate to help the CBT individual.

  A helpful area, equipment used in conjunction with courses. This suggestion is aimed more at Chris’s videos involving routers. Would like to see more on the physical connections bewteen router and Telcoms. For example: what type router would suit a small business using SDSL, ADSL, ISDN, T1 or fractional T1.

  Have to admit my progress has been slowed by the continuing loop I find myself in while viewing the basic networking course haven’t even broken the seal on the advanced course.
