Architect

If you have spent any time designing IT soutions with VMware products you will very likely have come into contact with VMware Validated Designs (VVD)

VMware Validated Design is a family of solutions for data center designs that span compute, storage, networking, and management, serving as a blueprint for your Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) implementation. The documentation of VMware Validated Design consists of succeeding deliverables for all stages of the SDDC life cycle.

I think this is the first time I have written a “rant” post (for a while at least) so if you don’t want to hear me whine run away now!

In the past 12 months I think I have met more folk with Architect in their job title than I truly believe is valid. Now I will be clear this is not a slight on the individuals all of them have been exceptional (at least the ones I have had the pleasure to work with).
