BEA WebLogic Server 8.1: System Administration

Description:

This course trains system administrators and data center personnel on techniques for installing, configuring, deploying, monitoring, and tuning distributed, clustered systems deployed on BEA WebLogic Server 8.1. This training concentrates on techniques for building a load-balanced, clustered configuration to ensure high availability in your BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 environment. Methods for hardening your implementation to provide reliable security are also emphasized. You will be able to ensure QoS for large scale J2EE applications hosted on BEA WebLogic Server 8.1. This course features BEA Ed.Lab, a revolutionary learning environment, offered exclusively by BEA. BEA Ed.Lab bridges the gap between technical training and real-world implementation.
