Xen Training

Everyone learns differently, and in different ways; however, when it comes to learning a new skill for use on the job, it is your organization’s mission critical operations that are at stake. If members of your organization will all learn differently from a textbook, with different degrees of success, then how will your organization ensure that everyone is on the same page?

With over four years of highly-relevant industry experience in configuring, deploying, researching, and developing with Xen, let us help bring everyone up to speed in these and best practices with Xen virtualization technology.

Our skilled trainers bring previous teaching experience from everywhere–from the K-12 classroom to adult and industry education–and all are experienced in providing engaging, hands-on training workshops for professionals in industry. In addition to being experts in their topical fields, our trainers are thoroughly qualified in their understanding of all learning styles, as well as in their application of techniques that produce measurable results in industry education.

Areas that may be of particular interest to your organization, and in which we are especially experienced, include:

  • General Xen configuration and deployment
  • Best practices in Xen deployment
  • Development with Xen
  • Server consolidation
  • Live migration
  • Special networking configurations
  • Hardware virtualization technologies
  • PCI pass-through
  • Security considerations

Potential training locations close to us (in the United States) include Binghamton, New York; Syracuse, New York; Rochester, New York; Albany, New York; and Potsdam, New York. We are also willing to travel to anywhere internationally or in the United States that is most convenient for your organization.

Dow, Todd Deshane, Wenjin Hu, Jeremy Bongio, Patrick F. Wilbur, Brendan Johnson; Prentice Hall: April 2008). This book is aimed at configuring, deployment, and best practices with the open-source Xen hypervisor.

For developer-oriented topics, there is also a companion book, The Definitive Guide to the Xen Hypervisor (Author: David Chisnall; Prentice Hall: November 2007).
