Why is the VCP so valuable

Many people have unrealistic expectations and participate in VMware certification exam, but they always end up frustrated. Before the certification exam, a lot of people will have the following expectations:

1)To be a VMware Certification is the only way for me to work in the IT industry;
2)Won the VMware Certification will get the perfect job;
3)The certification of VMware Certification is the golden key to my success;
4)VMware Certification certification is a big golden mine;
5)VMware Certification certification is the game rule in the IT industry;

But why is the VCP so valuable?

In fact, certification exams, VMware VCP-310 for instance, are designed to check candidates’ knowledge of a certain software, the logical thinking ability, and the capability of resolving problems. It’s a hot technology in the truest sense of the word, and one that isn’t likely to go away anytime soon. The story is slightly reminiscent of another darling of Wall Street, Citrix Systems, which appeared to fill in a void left by the need to remotely access applications and which has consistently improved its product lines and scope of business over the years. Interestingly enough, Citrix and VMware are about to go head to head in the market for virtualization customers following the CItrix / XenSource deal, and Citrix has always had a strong certification program (perhaps we’ll see some new certs, maybe CCXA – Citrix Certified Xen Admin or maybe CCVA – Citrix Certified Virtualization Admin). VMware, like Citrix, has made its mark with a single product (ESX), and then branched out to add more and more to the product line, always ensuring that there was a clear line of sight back from all of the added products to their main line (aka their “Core Competency” for those paradigm-shifting process re-engineering, value-adding self-empowered framework info-architects out there). This focus will make VMware an adopted technology almost everywhere, and another indicator of VMware’s “hotness” are their impressive number of customers. VMware claims 100% of the Fortune 100 and another 20,000 enterprise-level customers. That’s an impressive stock of customers in a relatively short lifespan.
