Network Virtualization at VMware Partner Exchange 2015

VMware Partner Exchange (PEX) is your one-stop shop when it comes to learning about network virtualization and the technology extends VMware’s vision of the software-defined data center. At this year’s event, we are offering both an executive track and a technical track to help partners build their businesses and advance their knowledge, as you take customers on the path to Virtualizing the Network.

If you are a partner that is new to network virtualization, we have a program/learning path where you can send two people to PEX and to achieve their network virtualization competency by attending the 3-Day NSX Install, Configure and Manage Boot Camp prior to the start of the conference. Participants can then attend the free instructor-led VSP-NV and VTSP-NV boot camps during the conference.

If you are a partner that has already achieved your network virtualization competency, and you want advanced VMware NSX technical training, there will be eight advanced technical breakout sessions throughout the conference. The advanced technical breakout sessions cover everything from “Operational Best Practices for VMware NSX” to “NSX Security Deep Dive. Logon to PEX and build your own schedule using Schedule Builder.

Knowing the technical ins and out of VMware NSX and network virtualization are great.  But if you are a partner that wants to understand the business issues and market potential around selling and marketing network virtualization, we have five business breakout sessions. The business sessions start with the new “Route to Market” keynote presentations and breakout sessions.
