It was the beginning of a new certification era and the end of an old one at the annual VMworld VCDX / vExpert party last week. Pat Gelsinger presented John Arrasjid, VCDX 001 with the John Newman Award, and Ray Budavari with the first ever VCIX-NV certification.
Ray paved the way for recognition in installing, configuring and administering NSX virtual network implementations, having completed a demanding, live hands on lab. VMware’s semi-official band, Elastic Sky, celebrated with a performance, and said farewell to guitarist John Arrasjid. Pictures of the event featured below.
