NSX-T 3.0 – Innovations in Cloud, Security, Containers, and Operations
We are excited to announce the general availability of VMware NSX-T™ 3.0, a major release of our full stack Layer 2 to Layer 7 networking platform that offers virtual networking, security, load balancing, visibility, and analytics in a single platform.
NSX-T 3.0 includes key innovations across cloud-scale networking, security, containers, and operations that help enterprises achieve one-click public cloud experience wherever their workloads are deployed.
As enterprises adopt cloud, containers, and new applications, IT teams are managing more heterogenous and distributed environments that need to be better secured, automated, and monitored. The need to run and manage workloads on all types of infrastructure, VMs, containers, bare metal across both private and public clouds, is greater than ever.
Enterprises need end-to-end software-defined solutions to fully automate, connect, and protect all their workloads. Click here for more!

IT Academy Launches Webinar Series
Since Covid-19 has made remote learning more important than ever, we’ve launched the IT Academy Webinar Series. From India we’ve created a five-session series of webinars on VMware ESXi and vSphere functionality. Josseline Gomez, in LATAM, has presented to Women Who Code. You can check out this and future webinars here. In the spirit of keeping everyone connected, we’ve created a new instructor community—a place we can all come together and share best practices.
VCAP Deploy Lab Exam Improvements
VMware Certification has started delivering VCAP Deploy lab exams through a new delivery infrastructure. You may notice some changes—including how questions appear—but the exam process and specific lab environment will stay the same. This revamp vastly improves issues related to latency, up-time, performance, and resource constraints within the lab environment.
At this time, these changes are only available for testing center exams and do not apply to remote proctored exams. Details will be shared when they become available remotely.
Continue your certification journey with VMware here as we push forward to make the improvements that serve you best.
