Program Overview: What is Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration?
Nutanix estates grow complex fast: sprawling clusters, inconsistent access, open networks, and unpredictable storage costs. This program gives your teams the skills to run Nutanix with confidence, from AOS foundations and AHV virtualization to storage, networking, and security. Your employees Understand how each layer supports day-to-day work.
Across 28 hours of instructor-led sessions and live-environment exercises, your team will Enhance its Nutanix administration capability: deploying clusters, managing distributed storage, segmenting networks, hardening access, and wiring data protection into one operational view. The program focuses on your training needs, adapting labs to your clusters, policies, and tools, so new capability transfers directly to live operations and lifts team performance.
Whether your team is adopting Nutanix or standardizing an existing HCI footprint, the program helps engineers reskill from legacy virtualization to the Nutanix operating model without losing momentum on current workloads.
By the final capstone, your team will administer a secure, resilient Nutanix estate with consistent standards, ready to Improve availability and cost control across every cluster.

Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration Course Topics and Program Outline
A 28-hour, seven-module path from Nutanix foundations to a production-ready capstone: AOS and AHV, distributed storage, networking and security, Prism Central automation, data protection, and resilient operations.
Built by Edstellar with Nutanix practitioners
Built by engineers who run Nutanix estates in production, shaped around your stack and use cases.
A short baseline check maps your team's Nutanix administration level before module one, so every exercise starts at the right level.
Instructor-led sessions build Nutanix architecture, AHV, and cluster foundations over 6.5 hours of concept work with live demos.
Across 16.5 hours, your team configures storage, networking, security, and data protection with live instructor troubleshooting.
Over 5 hours, your team hardens, upgrades, and troubleshoots a live cluster, closing with an instructor-reviewed capstone build.
