Here is a website http://www.vmwarevirtualizationtraining.com/ which is covering many advanced as well as basic topics on Virtualization. It teaches you about Vmware's highly succesful product suite Vmware Infrastructure 3. This website is available for FREE access only for TODAY & TOMORROW. Yes this website is getting lots of updates & the web developer (a friend of mine) is actually making this a subscription based service so people in future need to pay to access the website. Hurry up now & check out the details on the website http://www.VmwareVirtualizationTraining.com .
Learning Vmware Virtualization technology is crucial even if you are working as a Storage technology professional.Because Companies/Business/Individuals who are implementing Vmware or any Virtualization need Enterprise Storage solutions. (EMC & NetApp hence support as well as evangelise Virtualization implementation heavily). Any company which thinks of a company wide Virtualization implementation needs lots of Storage products & solution.I heard from Dell/IBM consultants who sell storage that they always follow Vmware sales team once Vmware sales team finish their presentation these Storage sales people have a easy walk to close deals. Virtualization has been a huge boon for Storage industry for sure. Not just that if I think on a bigger picture Virtualization is going to be a widely applied technology in almost all industries in future since it saves Power(Electricity),Cooling costs,Datacenter space,Machines/Servers/Hardware/Networking costs - overall a huge money saver.
So it makes career sense & business sense for you to start learning Vmware Virtualization. Vmware company which is owned by EMC2 is the present leader of Virtualization market. Though Microsoft is giving a tough challenge along with companies like Oracle,Sun microsystems,HP,Citrix(Xen),Virtual Iron,Virtuozzo to gain a major chunk of this market share. But for next few years if you learn Vmware then you can get hired by any of these major companies. As an example the few professionals who got benefited by this Vmware training website have joined these other companies though they learned Vmware Infrastructure 3(ESX Server,Virtual Center,Vmware Consolidate backup).
There are few videos on Vmware & Microsoft virtualization & it may seem too technical at first when you start going through this website. But if you can replay the same videos & try to understand what they are saying. If you have enough patience to go through each of the Video on this website then you definitely can understand more than 50% of this hot technology called Virtualization.
Here are the links on the site take time & have patience since the website is being accessed by so many that the Video loading may take time. Also the website is under constant development/modification so pardon if its down.

I was happy to recieve an email today from one of my blog reader that he got a job offer letter from Accenture on Vmware virtualization technology. He wrote to thank me for the guidance I gave him prior to his interviews.
I'm copying few lines from his email here::
"Overcoming fear of interviews is the first factor to success. We can overcome interview fears only when we are strong in the technology. Though I had been working on some specific segment of Vmware Infrastructure 3 I was not having a strong base in VI3. Also I never got time to cover other solid features of VI3. This was the reason why I always feared taking interviews. Though I had posted my resume online on various job portals & I was getting lots of interview calls from job consultants, I feared taking interviews.
This fear was mainly due to lack of preparation.I was fearing failure & I was fearing facing some body who'll grill me for hours to know what am I worthy of. I hated answering those questions like : Why should we hire you?
Why are you leaving your present job?
What are your weakness ?
Many a times thinking about explaining for the usual questions like : Tell me about yourself ? used to make me think that I need more time to prepare. I was confused should I perfect my technical skills or should I focus on how I present myself in interview. There were tons of worries troubling me & making me awake many a nights like:
Should I continue in VI3 administration role
Or Should I work as a consultant & start my career in VI3 consulting
some more wierd questions like : Do I know enough in VI3 or should I take more time to perfect what I've known already.
Also there were other areas to cover too like Linux administration, Windows related stuff,Network administration IPV6,VLAN etc etc. I thought its too much & I kept postponing my studies or preparation.
Roger thanks for your guidance & thanks for all the pointers you've published on the blog,thanks for all the email. I somehow managed to overcome my fear. I thought why not I give some mock interviews. I pleaded a lot of friends & I also asked you to take mock interview. Since you took that mock interview through Gtalk it was easy for me. I was able to overcome my fear of facing somebody. Since I wrote my answers I got more confidence. Then i took some more time to prepare. I polished my expertise in VI3 configuration, deployment, troubleshooting. Also thanks for the list of tips you emailed me for VI3 related interview preparation. It did help to some extent. I was able to give all 6 rounds of interview at Accenture & I'm happy to say now that they've offered me a good job with a good pay.
Thanks Roger for all the help & Thanks for helping me overcome my fear. Keep blogging & please write more about Vmware technology."
After reading this email I thought publishing it would definitely help many others overcoming their fears in facing the interview process.
I would invite (really appreciate) if my blog readers write to me sharing their interview experiences & sharing what helped them succeed in getting their job. If you could write sharing more about your interview preparations & any tips & if you allow me publish your email I would be thankful to you.
Ofcourse I promise never to reveal your identity or any personal info online.

Vmware VI3 Overview
Installation & Configuration of ESX
Network Configuration in ESX
Storage Configuration in ESX
Virtual Machine Creation & Guest Operating System Installation
Vmotion (Live Migration of a Powered On Virtual Machine)
Vmware HA (High Availability)
VMware DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduling)
This is a very exciting offering as Vmware's virtualization is a very hot technology & getting to see its true powers in a lab is going to be even more exciting. There is a huge growth in Virtualization technology domain. This huge growth is due to the growing problems of Today's & Tomorrow's Data Center issues like :
1. Power constraints ( Even if you have money there is a limit to how much electricity you can get to your Data Centre & that limits the growth of your Data Centre drastically )
2. Cooling ( Very very essential for your Data Centre Infrastructure to function optimally but is going to be expensive & will again need lots of Electricity(Power))
3.Space ( REAL ESTATE costs are growing like anything. More than the Servers,Storage,Network equipment it is the Real Estate cost that is becoming expensive - Data Centres are facing a huge space crunch today & this problem is going to increase exponentially in future )
Virtualization can solve these 3 critical problems effectively & economically. Server Virtualization or Server Consolidation through Host Virtualization can bring a huge savings for Data Centre if implemented,utilized properly. This workshop is an effort to showcase the true benefits of Vmware Virtual Infrastructure 3 which can solve many of the problems including the 3 mentioned above.
