The partnership

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.

After Broadcom

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.

What that is in numbers

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.

Who holds which is on each person’s profile, and is not maintained here.

Install vCenter without DNS

A lot of people believe you cannot install vCenter without a DNS server in the environment. Not quite. It is not ideal, but it works.

VCF full stack from October 2027 – myth or truth?

A myth that will not go away, and one VMware's competitors are happy to repeat: “from October 2027 a full-stack VCF implementation is mandatory”. It simply is not true.
