Exploring the VCDX certification

A VCDX certification requires candidates to demonstrate their command of managing, building and designing VMware solutions and systems. VMware offers VCDX certification in four areas: Data Center Virtualization, Cloud Management & Automation, Desktop and Mobility, and Network Virtualization.

Becoming a VCDX is not easy. This top-tier certification exam is comprised of two parts: the submission and the defense. The submission portion of the exam requires a lot of studying. The following defense portion is a challenging 45-minute presentation where the candidate must clarify their conceptual, logical and physical design and problem solve questions in front of a panel of judges. Pawel shares some tips on how to prepare for your VCDX defense.

Why get VMware certified?

Earning a VMware certification can be a long journey sometimes studded with roadblocks, but one that's well worth the hard work.
