VMware Certified Professional - Network Virtualization (VCP-NV) Practice Exam

VMware Certified Professional - Network Virtualization (VCP-NV) Practice Exam

The VMware Certified Professional – Network Virtualization 2020 (VCP-NV 2020) is a professional certification that teaches how to use VMware NSX, a software that allows companies to create virtual networks. Instead of relying on physical hardware, NSX lets businesses manage networks through software, making it faster, easier, and more flexible. This is helpful for IT teams in large organizations that need to connect many devices securely and efficiently.

Through this certification, learners gain hands-on skills to install, configure, and manage NSX solutions. It also covers designing network virtualization, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring high availability. By completing this program, professionals can support enterprise networks and contribute to digital transformation in various industries like finance, healthcare, and cloud services.
