when it comes to getting training on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Clustering.

there can come close to providing the training experience you will get when you

For example, we provide the:

Best Courseware
See the outline of this course
here. We bet that what you want to learn is in
there.
Several hundred hours went in to
developing the courseware. It is in full color, with detailed graphics, and lots
and lots of information. Every training center that has seen this course has
expressed to us just how impressed they are with the high quality. Because
we maintain the courseware, it also means that it is constantly updated with
the latest and greatest information.
In your courseware binder, you will
receive:
Over 350 pages of color filled
content covering hardware, the operating system, installation and
configuration of clustering, and detailed information on clustering
Exchange and SQL
Over 125 pages of labs that will
become great resources for you (imagine labs that not only work in class
but will work in your office or home after the course) and provide the
basis of installation documents for your business
A course CD with a great deal of
white papers and videos on clustering that you can use as research
material in the future
A course DVD with tons of software
The labs, over 125 pages, are key to
providing hands on training experience over multiple types of clustering.
Over twenty separate labs allow you to pick and choose so that you can customize
your own course. While some of the labs are required, like the installation
labs, the majority of them can be done at your own pace and you can do the
ones that interest you most. You do not have a lab partner until the very
last lab which is done as an entire class. There is nobody to hold you back
or to push you too fast. You do the labs the way you want and at the speed
you want. The labs will cover:
Installation
Configuration
WINS
DHCP
5 Different File Sharing technologies
Printing
Generic - Server, Script, and Application
MSDTC
SQL 2000 & SQL 2005
Exchange 2003 & Exchange 2007
Network Load Balancing (NLB)
Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering
To top off the lab experience, your
trainers will be glad to provide you lots of choices. For example, do you
want to install Service Pack 2? Would you like to try Windows Server 2003
R2? Whatever twist you want to put on the labs, we will work with you.
You get a custom training experience,
but at the same time you also get the dynamics of the classroom environment.
Best Training Centers
We have worked hard to identify some
of the best training centers and organizations around the world to host our
classes. Because of this, we can take our training on the road. Look for us
in Europe later this year, for example. Next year, we may hit Asia.
The training centers will provide
quality equipment, a top notch training environment, and will handle you
with kid gloves because they not only want to make us happy, they want to
see you attend their center for other training courses that they offer.
Price?
The price for our course is set by
our partners. We feel they know their markets better than we do, and we
do not want to be in the business of dictating pricing to our partners. So,
to find out how much the course will cost, and to negotiate any volume
discounts, you will need to contact the partners as listed on our Schedule
page. Just click on the Schedule button on the left and it will take you
there.
We do offer dedicated/private
classes. If you want us to come to your company, we are more than glad
to do that. The pricing for private classes breaks down like this:
Our Fee - $16,000 for four days at
your location teaching the course for up to 19 students
Materials - The courseware,
printed in brilliant color, along with a student CD and a student DVD is
$175 per student.
Computers - We expect that
computers meeting our standards (basically the requirement is 2 GB
of RAM and 40 GB of free disk space and they should run Windows Server
2003 Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition) will be provided by the
company. If we need to provide equipment, we will charge for rental.
Training Room - We expect the
company will provide a training room with an Ethernet network connecting
all student computers and the instructor computer (which we bring with
us). If we need to find the room and configure it, we will have to add
that to our fees.
Yes, we agree that private classes are
expensive, but if you have 10 or more students, it is a good price per
student and generally will be cheaper than a public class. We do prefer,
though, that everyone attend the public classes. We believe very strongly in
student interaction and there is much better peer to peer learning in an
environment where there are people from different companies with different
job experiences to share.
