Well, as I said, I am using Xenserver at home right now and since it is free, have managed to get a copy of it running in my office. We had a requirement to run 2 servers for development but had 1 physical box. I managed to convince the management to upgrade to 8 gigs of ram for that box and now we can run 2 servers in 1 physical box.
So everyone is mucho happy and the developers really don't notice much speed difference. Anyway, no this is not work related, I just wanted it perhaps to be a career path for me. How do you suggest going about this? -----Original Message----- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Alex Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 6:42 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Virtualization Certification Do you need something like this to help you get involved in virtualization professionally? what are you looking to do specifically in terms of virtualization technology? I took vmware training classes before, it was a waste of money to get certified, even the trainer acknowledged as much - if you do virtualization/storage as part of your profession, it will reflect in your work experience. the cert doesn't mean much, no industry standard. I was doing a lot of vmware/netapp/netbackup back then, had to get officially trained in all of them, part of company protocol.
