In this course, you will acquire the skills needed to deploy a unified image management system using VMware Mirage. You will also learn how to install, configure, and manage the VMware Horizon View component of VMware Horizon. Additionally, you will learn how to configure security, manage images, perform a Windows migration, set up endpoint protection, and perform various management functions with Mirage. You will also gain practical experience with View concepts through the completion of hands-on labs that include VMware View Manager, VMware View Composer, and the View security server.

This fast-track course satisfies the courseware requirement for the VMware Certified Professional 6 Desktop (VCP6-DT) exam prep.
