Time for a change…

I will be focusing on public clouds primarily; of course in combination with VMware vSphere and a new upcoming product which has already been revealed as Redwood, but not officially announced.

Like I said months ago, blogging does change your life for the better and working hard does pay off. Let’s get ready to rrrrruuuuummmmmbbbbblllllleeeeee!

Here I am again. VMware Professional Services has four openings at the moment. All these are EMEA based roles. Preferably UK/France/Germany/Netherlands. Notice the “Cloud Services” part of it! This is a brand new team:

As part of VMware’s strategic vCloud initiative, VMware is developing a new Cloud Services team that is 100% focused on deploying VMware-based “clouds” at Service Providers as well as enterprises. The Cloud Services team is organized centrally within the WW Technical Services Organization and will work directly with the VMware Cloud sales and architecture teams to help customers implement a VMware-based cloud. The Cloud Services team will focus initially on Cloud Service Providers, but will also be involved in developing the services model for bringing cloud computing to enterprise customers.

So if you are interested and are looking for a new challenge take a look at the following openings:

Most of you know that I’m a VMware employee. To be more precise I’m a VMware PSO Senior Consultant. PSO stands for “Professional Services Organisation”:

The global VMware Professional Services Organization (PSO) influences the success of each VMware implementation. The PSO team is dedicated to the success of the customer and their virtualization strategy and implementation. The PSO team ensures that VMware customers are successfully implementing their business plans from adoption all the way to a fully functioning virtualized data center. The VMware PSO team includes Implementation/Managed Services, Project/Engagement Management, Education Services, Partner Management and Technical Account Management (TAM) Services.
