The partnership

body: | Our team has specialised in VMware technology for years. Some of us have worked with it since the turn of the century, others since VMware turned server virtualization on its head. Over the years that has become a long list of finished projects. We intend to be the most capable VMware partner in Switzerland. That means our engineers keep up with what is being released, and keep training. That is the work behind the motto rather than the motto itself. - heading:

After Broadcom

body: | We remained a strong VMware partner and are more involved in professional services than we were before. Our people work on projects in Broadcom's name and implement VCF. Alongside the project and licensing business we are an official Cloud Service Provider at **Premier** status. We do not host ourselves; we are the point of contact for our CSP partners in the white-label programme. - heading:

What that is in numbers

body: | Added up, we hold **224 active VMware certifications**. Among them: - 63 Certified Expert - 161 Proven Professional Then there are the Broadcom Knights and the vExperts. The Knights programme is a recognition and training programme for selected technical specialists in Broadcom's partner network; membership is by invitation and renewed yearly. The vExpert award goes to people who are active in the community and pass on what they know, in blog posts, VMUG sessions and elsewhere.
