Free VMware NSX training resources

NSX is a hot topic in the software defined networking and SDDC market and has been for some time. It’s the next obvious area of the SDDC which needs to get the benefits of virtualization and make a lot of sense.

I came across a new self paced e-learning course from VMware Education which is offered free of charge.

The course is called  “VMware Network Virtualization Fundamentals” and is a three module course covering the following.

Module 1: Establish the Requirements for Network Virtualization

Module 2: Compare and Contrast Virtual and Physical Networking Solutions

Module 3: Describe Advanced VMware Network Virtualization Solutions

This is a great first step towards understanding Network Virtualization and start on the certification track for NSX starting with VCP-NV.

You can enrol for the course here – VMware Network Virtualization Fundamentals
