Introduction
Hello to all readers of my blog!
In previous articles in the series “VMware Learning. Year 2020”, we reviewed the list of areas and specifics of authorized training in VMware and the main training programs in the field of Data Center Virtualization & Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure.
Today we will talk about the main training programs in the field of Network Virtualization & Security.
Direction of training – Network Virtualization & Security includes training programs on technologies VMware NSX, NSX-T.
VMware NSX
VMware NSX is a network virtualization and security platform for software data centers, making it possible to create and run network services on existing network equipment.
