NET1214 - NSX Certification - the Next Step in Your Networking Career

While VMware doesn't yet have a networking certification, they're working on one. The company's certification website says VMware Certified Professional and VMware Certification Design Expert certifications in a networking track are "coming soon." I'm interested in how VMware will structure this new certification. Will it develop a certification that challenges and appeals to networking professionals? Or will this certification track be aimed at server virtualization administrators looking to dabble in software-defined networking to broaden their horizons? This distinction will be critically important to whether VMware can compete with Cisco for the hearts and minds of networking professionals – who will ultimately decide whether NSX deserves a place in their data center.

Certification in any area seems more like - yes i could answer the questions they had to ask me. Does that make me a better professional - may be / maybe not. But if I were looking at doing a certification in the area, I would certainly consider VMWare networking certification.
