Well today I had a day at my home office so I thought I would have a look at the VMware University as I had not really looked for around 12 months and yes there was plenty of new content.
In my experience and in the last 20 plus years its quite extensive the VMware Partner University has to be one of the best channel partner tuition tolls I have ever used, and it just seems to get better and better. Many other companies could learn a lesson from VMware and in fact Veeam have just started there's and I hope will eventually be as good.
So after a look around the site and the new offerings I decided to have a bash at the vShield VMTN module and as usual a very good module it is, and I guess the one thing that struck me was how powerful the product is and just how complicated it could soon get. Once you put into the mix physical servers and firewalls into the mix I could see it becoming a full time job to keep up with it in a large organisation. Please don't take this as a criticism as in the virtual work we do need something as powerful as this and as far as I know there's nothing out there that will integrate into vSphere as well, i just think that they need to think about the physical world and integrating it all into a single product. But I guess we will have to wait for Cisco to do that as I'm sure they must be working on it I just hope that it will integrate into the virtual infrastructure with a descent GUI, that does not take a lifetime to understand.
