I was on the VMware forums on Wednesday and one of the biggest names in Software Defined Networking at VMware made a posting about a offering VMware was giving away in regards to training for VMware’s Software-Defined Networking for the datacenter and for vCloud, the software behind what makes the ‘cloud’ a reality for MSP industry who are “in-deep” as they say, so I was like sure why not I’ll make a post about my career and see what happens… I feel that for the MSP world to really work, there needs to be a shift from private clouds to…

3/27/17 Well after a few months of studying and failing the exam the end of December I wanted to pass it this time, so I blew away my home-lab like 5 times and did it in 4 different ways to make sure I knew the content. Took the exam on March 25th and passed the exam with a score of 383. Now onto the road towards the following exams: VCP6-NV VCP6-DTM CompTIA CSA+ MCSE: 2012 VCP6-CMA VCAP? – one of them…. to-be-determined!

6/3/15 So I’m going to do something new for my blog and that is to at-least make monthly updates to my progression for the month. This month has been busy I’ve been studying like a banshie for the CCNA exam while at the same time work on a project at work.

Whelp it was a long study but after 5 months of study I’ve completed the VCP5-DCV course study and passed the exam on January 5th 2015. Since taking the ICM class at Stanly College in Locust NC back in October of 2014 I was basically living in my home-lab 5 hours a night during the week and about 10 hours on weekends and working with VMware 5.5 on a daily basis on the job at customer locations. I was actually kind of shocked by getting into the ICM class back in September and kind of pissed, I was literally 3…

Welcome! I figured since I like posting my labs and all I figured I’d make a blog for my VMware/Cisco/Microsoft Pursuit. – Right now the blog is being updated as I move along in my studies. This is a work in progress. I’ll be adding content along the way. -Trevor
