No commitment • Free 30-min call • Microsoft Certified Trainers
Your organisation relies on Windows Server, but without structured training in advanced services, your team is exposed to risk.
Your team talks about DR but hasn't tested failover in months. Without Hyper-V Replica and Azure Site Recovery skills, recovery is a gamble when it matters most.
Moving workloads from Windows Server 2016/2019 to newer versions or Azure IaaS is complex. Without structured migration skills, projects stall or fail.
Some servers are patched, some aren't. Encryption, credential protection, and update management vary across the estate. Your team needs a consistent security posture.
AZ-801 is built for infrastructure professionals who own Windows Server availability, security, and migration — from junior admins to enterprise architects.
Complete your hybrid certification with advanced services expertise.
Design high-availability and disaster recovery solutions for hybrid environments.
Implement server hardening, encryption, and threat protection across hybrid estates.
Plan and execute Windows Server version upgrades and cloud migrations.
Understand DR, HA, and migration options for business continuity planning.
Design resilient, secure hybrid infrastructure at enterprise scale.
The AZ-801 curriculum follows Microsoft's official 5 learning paths. Your team gets a structured walkthrough of Windows Server hybrid advanced services — delivered by a Microsoft Certified Trainer.
This isn't about memorising technical details. It's about equipping your team with skills that directly reduce risk and enable migration.
Configure failover clustering, stretch clusters, and NLB for critical workloads so they stay online when it matters.
Build and test Hyper-V Replica and Azure Site Recovery strategies with tested failover procedures.
Implement consistent encryption, credential protection, and threat defence across your entire hybrid estate.
Confidently migrate workloads using Azure Migrate and Storage Migration Service with zero downtime.
Earn Part 2 of the Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate credential, validating your advanced expertise.
Each program includes guided hands-on labs in a live sandbox environment. Your team doesn't just hear about Azure services — they use them, guided by a Microsoft Certified Trainer in real time. Labs remain open for 180 days for sharpening those technical skills.
