Reading Time: 4 minutesEach big vendor has some kind of “community award” for individuals who have significantly contributed to the community of the specific vendor.

Reading Time: 4 minutesTwo years ago, VMware has started new vExpert (sub)programs on different technologies. One of those sub-programs was the vExpert NSX and I was honored to part of the first list. After the renewal of last year (VMware vExpert NSX 2017), I found that I’ve been renewed also for this year!

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe vExpert vSAN program is a specific VMware vExpert (sub)programs focused on the vSAN product. The idea to have specialized groups of vExpert was to bring again (like at the origins) the vExpert program as an “elite” program. After the vExpert vSAN 2016 and 2017 lists, now VMware has just announced the vExpert vSAN 2018 new list. I was honored to part of this list again, and that’s pretty exciting, considering that I’m there from the first list.

Note that “vExpert” is not a technical certification or even a general measure of VMware expertise, it’s much like an award.
