The Power of Virtualization Evangelism: My vExpert Journey

As I sit here reflecting on my journey as a virtualization evangelist, I am filled with a sense of pride and gratitude. Last week, VMware announced the annual vExpert awards for 2013, and I was honored to be one of the 581 virtualization enthusiasts recognized for my passionate advocacy for virtualization solutions in calendar year 2012.

For me, being awarded vExpert is more than just a badge of honor; it has been a transformative experience that has opened doors to new opportunities and challenges. It has allowed me to distinguish myself as an IT professional, given me elite access to software and betas, and pushed me to continue evangelizing the virtualization solutions I believe in.

As I look back on my journey, I am reminded of the power of virtualization evangelism. It is not just about promoting a technology, but about inspiring others to embrace its potential and revolutionize the way we approach IT. For me, that means sharing my knowledge and experiences through blog posts, social media, speaking engagements, and other forms of content creation.

I am also grateful for the support of TrainSignal, who has offered one year of free, unlimited IT video training to all 2013 vExperts. This is an incredible gift that will not only enhance our skills but also provide us with valuable resources to share with others. I encourage all those who are passionate about virtualization to apply for this amazing opportunity.

For those who are not yet vExperts, I urge you to pursue this distinction with vigor. Find ways to promote VMware virtualization through your blog, social media, speaking, writing, video authoring, VMworld, or at your local VMUG. The power of virtualization evangelism is not just about recognizing individuals but about spreading the word and empowering others to embrace this transformative technology.

I also want to extend my gratitude to TrainSignal for offering their IT video training package to non-vExperts as well. This is a great opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge in virtualization, and I encourage you to take advantage of this offer.

In conclusion, being awarded vExpert has been a life-changing experience that has given me a platform to share my passion for virtualization with others. It has also provided me with valuable resources and opportunities to continue evangelizing the power of virtualization. I encourage all those who are passionate about virtualization to pursue this distinction, and I look forward to seeing the impact we can make together.
