  1. VMware Certified Advanced Professional 6 (Desktop and Mobility Deployment) – The industry-recognized VCAP6-DTM Deploy certification validates that you know how to deploy and optimize VMware Horizon 6 (with View) environments. It demonstrates that you have the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage best practices to provide a scalable and dependable Business Mobility platform for your business. Some of the topics involve: Configuring and managing Horizon View components, configuring cloud pod archituecture, configuring Group Policy settings related to Horizon View, Configuring and optimizing desktop images for Horizon View & Mirage, Configuring and managing App Volumes AppStacks, Configuring desktop pools, Configuring and deploying ThinApp packaged applications, Configuring VMWare Identity Manager, etc.Sebastian’s take on the VCAP6 exam: “In my thoughts and opinions VCAP6 examination is way better experience when compared with VCAP5, the newest exam looks just like VMware HOL. The screen is simple, questions are structured on the right section of the screen, and could be concealed aside or even restored when required. My bits of advice to the questions window: if you opt to make it floating, you better know how to restore it back. I ended up moving it around for the reason that I fail to remember how to restore it back. The two arrows that resembled control buttons on the top were supposed to dock the window to right of left. Fonts can be resized, which in my opinion was a lot better than scrolling up and down the question. The response speed of the entire user interface was much quicker as compared to VCAP5.5, and there wasn’t any lagging time period experienced when switching from window to window. Something to keep in mind: BACKSPACE key is not working! I believe this is good since you don’t reload your examination window by accident, even so, it could be irritating sometimes whenever you type some thing mistakenly and you have to select and press Del to remove. The Desktop and shortcuts were structured very effectively, and all important applications like internet browser or Mirage console could be launched. You will find a excellent user interface for Remote Desktop Manager where you can find all necessary RDP connection to servers or desktops with no need to type username and password. The web browser had all the links in the Favorite Bar. At the time I’m penning this, there’s no additional 30 minute extension for Non-Native English speaker at No-Native English country, which is actually a bummer. There are actually thirty-nine question to respond to within the three hours time, and this can be actually quite hard for non-native English speakers just like me. Quite a few questions take time to complete, therefore it is preferable to bypass the questions that you can’t answer, and complete those you are able to. By the end of the 39 questions, you can get back on the uncompleted questions in case you have time. Don’t waste a long time on one single question! The examination blue print are available on my website at Szumigalski.com. It is well-organized and following it for the examination preparation should help a great deal. Obviously, the most suitable is if you could have a lot of hands on experience! I’m actually very happy with the examination experience, despite the fact that I passed this time around by small margin, but I understand what I missed for the exam, study from the errors and practice harder to familiarise myself with the environment. This qualification can open up your career prospects!”
