23 April 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: < 1 minute As happened in the previous years, there will be a VMware Online Forum 2013 edition that is quite similar to a vForum event (now called VMware Forum) with the main advantage to be just an on-line version that gives you a flexible, convenient way to expand your knowledge and experience the event in a way that fits in with your busy schedule. The 2013 edition will be on Tuesday 23 April starting from 8:30 Pacific Time. Also this year I have an Online Chat Session, focused on “Virtualization with vSphere” scheduled on 10:30 AM – 11:00 […]

VMware exams and related products version

19 April 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 2 minutes As discussed, all the VMware exams have a release version that depend only by the major number of the related products (or suite). And usually are all agnostic on the minor number. But the only way to be sure is check the related blueprint and verify the content (a simple and fast way could be check the document links). But there are also some specific notes depending by the certification path.

VMware Cloud certification path

18 April 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutes The Cloud path is one of the new certifications paths from VMware announced during the last VMworld US. I’m not sure that it will remain an independent (from the -DCV) path also in the future, considering that VMware now is pushing on the vCloud Suite rather than only the single vSphere or vCloud Director part. But this is just a my guess. Actually the Datacenter Virtualization (vSphere) and the Cloud (vCloud Director and related products) are two separated certifications paths.

VMware Certifications: new name and new exam

17 April 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: < 1 minute Recently there were some changes in the VMware Certifications Portal: The “old” VCP certification, renamed some months ago in VCP-DV and been (again) renamed in VCP-DCV (so we have VCP4-DCV and VCP5-DCV certifications). Some changes are applied to VCDX certification (VCDX4-DCV and VCDX5-DCV). Other certifications related to datacenter virtualization path actually remain with the current name (VCAP-DCA, VCAP-DCD). A new VCAP exam has been added and is the VCAP5-DTD, the one design related for the EUC path. All certification related paths as been rebuild with a new graphics… not sure if is better than before.

CloudCred: useful or useless?

11 April 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutes I’ve already talk about Cloud Credibility in a previous post. The idea is to create a “cloud expertise” or rather plan a growth path, using a scoring mechanism (Cloud Cred score) and awards. Although the principle and the purpose can been correct, there are some doubts about the actual utility.

9 April 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 2 minutes VMware Press is a publishing alliance between Pearson and VMware, and is the official publisher of VMware books and training materials that provide guidance for the critical topics facing today’s technology professionals and students. There are several interesting book already available, and lot that must be published on the next months. Of course is not the only VMware books related repository, considering that some “best sellers” like (for example):VMware vSphere 5 Clustering Technical Deepdive and Mastering VMware vSphere 5. Also for certifications there are several other study books (like this one for VCP).
