Support your VMware investment with truly effective
training
Virtualization remains in the forefront of today's technology,
soaring at a rapid pace in server virtualization and consolidation.
To support this overwhelming interest and demand, Global Knowledge
has expanded its VMware schedule and is now offering more courses
in more locations across the Middle East and Africa region.
VMware is server and desktop virtualization software that helps IT
departments turn single physical machines into several virtual ones
running side-by-side, thereby giving IT departments greater
resource utilization and flexibility. Global Knowledge expects
virtualization to emerge in the years ahead as a fundamental IT
building block and as such the demand for professional
virtualization skills and the use of products like VMware will
increase.
