Virtualization
Virtualization continues to be a hot topic with the opportunity to reduce energy costs, improve productivity, and consequently improve your return on investment. PCATT hosts training provided by VMware as well as training through the VMware Academy. The courses differ mainly in the method of delivery. Both qualify you to take the VCP certification exam.
