Course Overview
The VMware Cloud Foundation Storage: Advanced Design & Deploy [V9.1] course by VMware is designed for storage administrators, cloud architects, and infrastructure engineers responsible for designing and deploying scalable, resilient storage solutions within a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment. This advanced training prepares candidates for the VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Storage (VCAP - Storage) certification, exam code 3V0-23.25. With over 50,000 VCF deployments globally, organizations increasingly demand professionals skilled in advanced vSAN architecture and storage optimization. The course equips learners with deep expertise in principal and supplemental storage models, vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA), and stretched cluster configurations to meet modern data center requirements.
Students engage with key VMware technologies including vSAN ESA and OSA, NSX networking, SDDC Manager, and VCF Operations. The hands-on labs, delivered through VMware’s browser-based Hands-on Lab (HOL) platform, require no local setup and allow students to build and configure real-world solutions. Learners will deploy and manage vSAN clusters, configure storage policies, implement vSAN Stretched Clusters for high availability, and enable vSAN Encryption. A core project involves designing and implementing a disaggregated storage solution using vSAN Storage Clusters, enabling independent scaling of compute and storage resources while ensuring data re-protection across availability zones.
This course directly prepares students for the VCAP - Storage certification, a credential recognized by Fortune 500 enterprises and global systems integrators for its rigor and technical depth. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 18% and are often positioned for roles such as Senior Cloud Architect or Lead Storage Engineer. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official VMware courseware, and optional 1-on-1 mentoring to ensure mastery. Upon completion, graduates are equipped to design, deploy, and optimize enterprise-grade VCF storage infrastructures, driving digital transformation and cloud modernization initiatives.
