VMware training companies will be able to reduce training preparation time, gain access to instructor support features and access in class and post class learner analytics to adapt and refine teaching. Students will benefit from a single integrated lab viewer with all lab exercises available through a web browser.

"The students and instructors had a great experience using XtremeLabs online labs for VMware," said Shawn MacArthur, CEO of VMTraining and a VMware certified instructor (VCI). "With all the hassles of lab setup, infrastructure preparation out of the way, our instructors and students can really focus on hands-on learning and mastering various VMware products and technologies."
