VMware: Leveled Up
In this learning series, you'll start with a vendor-neutral foundation in virtualization, including hypervisors, virtual compute, storage, and networking, and security basics. Next, you'll move into VMware, learning to install ESXi 8.0 and vCenter Server 8 and then going deeper into resource management, distributed switching, troubleshooting, and vSAN 8.0. You'll finish with advanced topics like backup and recovery, NSX, edge compute, DPU/GPU/xPU virtualization, VMware hybrid cloud, and PSOD troubleshooting.
VMware: Build your Foundation
In this learning series, you'll learn the core concepts of virtualization, including how it works, why organizations adopt it, and how it changes the way data centers use compute, storage, and network resources. You'll then apply that knowledge to VMware's platform, exploring its key components, architecture, and capabilities, and learning how to deploy and manage a virtualized environment. By the end, you'll have the foundational skills to move on to more advanced VMware learning and real-world work.
VMware: Virtualization Solutions

You'll finish with advanced topics including backup and recovery, NSX basics, edge compute, DPU/GPU/xPU, cloud-based VMware solutions, and PSOD troubleshooting.
Partner POV | AI-Ready Private Cloud with Cisco and VMware
An AI-ready private cloud transcends mere GPU addition, demanding robust networking and seamless integration. Cisco and VMware's collaboration redefines AI workload management, optimizing traffic flow and resource allocation. This innovative approach transforms AI infrastructure from isolated stacks to unified platforms, ensuring scalable, efficient, and future-ready data centers.
Partner POV | The Hardest Part Of Private Cloud Isn't The Hypervisor
The truth about private cloud: the hardest work happens below the hypervisor. Dell's been solving it for a decade.
Partner POV | Avi Strengthens Web Application Security, Boosts Performance and Improves Operational Efficiency
VMware Avi's latest enhancements revolutionize web application security by transitioning from WAF to a comprehensive WAAP framework, integrating AI-driven API protection and operational efficiency tools. This evolution addresses the growing complexity of AI-fueled threats, offering scalable, automated solutions that enhance performance and security, while reducing operational costs and complexity.
Partner POV | Faster is Still Safer: The Three R's of Enterprise Security in the Era of AI-Driven Exploits
In the AI era, traditional security is obsolete. VMware Tanzu's Three R's—Rotate, Repave, Repair—offer a dynamic defense against AI-driven threats. By embedding these practices, enterprises achieve systemic immunity, transforming speed into a security asset. Embrace this shift to survive and thrive in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
Redefining Cyber Recovery Requirements in the Era of Modern Cyberattacks
AI-powered attacks are rampant, and traditional defenses no longer hold. Disaster recovery restores the latest backup. Cyber recovery has to find one from before the intrusion, then prove it is clean, because 82% of attacks now leave no file to scan for. VMware Advanced Cyber Compliance automates that search inside an isolated clean room on VMware Cloud Foundation, validated by WWT in its Advanced Technology Center.
