Recertificación de VCP5-DCV

Hace ya unos meses VMware anuncio un cambio en su política de certificaciones de forma que tenían una “fecha de caducidad” en lugar de ser indefinidas.

Estos días, VMware ha publicado un nuevo examen de recertificación de VCP5-DCV, válido para aquellos que se certificaron con el examen VCP510, de forma que sólo sea necesario examinarse de los cambios entre el examen VCP510 y VCP550, o lo que es lo mismo, las novedades de vSphere 5.5.

Este examen sólo va a estar disponible hasta el 30 de Noviembre, pero es muy útil para quien tenga que renovar la certificación antes del 10 de marzo de 2015, fecha límite para hacerlo.

Los beneficios de este examen son:

Examen basado sólo en las diferencias entre los examenes de vSphere 5.0/5.1 y vSphere 5.5
Ahorro en el tiempo de preparación
Estará disponible de forma online, de forma que no es necesario desplazarse a un centro homologado.
Ahorro de dinero, al ser más barato que ún examen de certificación
