VMware is set to release a new network certification program at the coming VMworld 2013 which will be held San Francisco. With the VMworld Call for Papers Voting now open, the voting process is well underway and lots of people are promoting their sessions. There was one session in particular that caught my eye. The title of this session is "Join the Network Virtualization Revolution by Becoming VMware’s Newest VCP, VCP-NV!" - It's presented by VMware's Sr. Technical Certification Developer Jon Hall. Some of you may know Jon already from a similar launch back in 2010 of the VCAP certification. The abstract of this upcoming VCP-NV session is very revealing:
Network Virtualization is revolutionizing the data center. VMware NSX is enabling rapid deployment of networking and security by decoupling network services from physical network hardware. The demand for IT professionals that have proven skills with this technology is strong, and now you can be one of the first IT professionals to earn VMware’s newest certification, VCP-NV (Network Virtualization).
As a VCP-NV, you will demonstrate your mastery of network virtualization implementation and administration skills. And the VCP-NV certification is just one component of VMware's Network Virtualization Certification Track. This track provides a proven means of conveying your mastery of these skills to employees, partners and the virtualization community. Begin your path by becoming a VCP-NV, the foundation of this new program.
As your skills grow, Advanced Professional certifications can be achieved in the areas of Network Virtualization Infrastructure Administration and Network Virtualization Infrastructure Design, culminating in the opportunity to become a leading expert in this field by achieving the VMware Certified Design Expert – Network Virtualization certification. This session will provide details of each certification, including the steps to achieve the certification, tools and resources available, structure of the advanced certifications and more. Come join us and join the Network Virtualization Revolution!
