    The first ever reality competition for IT professionals. Virtual Design Master is the combination of The Apprentice with a VCDX defense. Competitors were faced with 4 intense challenges beginning with a detailed datacenter design, followed by a complete BCP implementation for their complex datacenter layouts. Moving into the 3rd challenge, the remaining competitors had to perform automation and orchestration of Windows and Linux systems with web application deployments included. Finally, with only two competitors remaining, the last challenge was to deploy two independent cloud systems, connect the two clouds and migrate workloads between the environments.

    Sponsorship provided by baremetalcloud (www.baremetalcloud.com), TrainSignal (now part of the Pluralsight family www.pluralsight.com) and Radical I/O (www.radicalio.com).

    Our winner was Akmal Waheed who received a $1500 prize package thanks to our sponsors. Visit www.virtualdesignmaster.com for more information.

    Each year, we bring together in the vExpert Program the people who have made some of the most important contributions to the VMware community. These are the bloggers, book authors, VMUG leaders, speakers, tool builders, community leaders and general enthusiasts. They work as IT admins and architects for VMware customers, they act as trusted advisors and implementors for VMware partners or as independent consultants, and some work for VMware itself. All of them have the passion and enthusiasm for technology and applying technology to solve problems. They have contributed to the success of us all by sharing their knowledge and expertise over their days, nights, and weekends. They are, quite frankly, the most interesting and talented group of people I’ve ever been in a room with.
