It's true that NSX does not have much interest in small shops or SMB. That's why so far I did not give much attention to NSX on this blog, but things are changing and it's good to get more knowledge as you never know what your job will be tomorrow. With that, let's see what's in the VMware Network Virtualization Fundamentals 2016 – free training course. After the free registration, you can use the online class at your pace.

It's a shame that it's not possible to download the training for offline usage. It would also be usefull for folks with slow internet access (yes, it still exists) so they can download the training for offline learning. Otherwise It seems to me, who is a beginner on the NSX product, that it is a good training to get started with NSX.
