Achieved VCP5-DCV - Which cert to do next?

[virtualtech_wor]

please let me know if this question need to be posted under different section.

Hi,

I need to do certifications in Datacenter Virtualization and Cloud computing, these are the areas I'm currently working on. Already achieved VCP5-DCV certification.

I came across articles saying vCloud Director is no more a standalone product and it has been integrated with vCAC.

1. Does this mean vCloud Director certifcation VCP-Cloud does not add much value to the profile now?

2. Is there any official certification for vCAC?

3. Is VCAP5-DCA has got real demand in the market like VCP?

I need your thoughts/advise, to spend my time in the relevant courses/certifications.

Thanks!

The direction for vCD is that it will be for service providers, the future for enterprises will be vSphere with vCAC.

1. The -Cloud certifications are still based on vCD, not sure what will happen in the future but I'd expect to see them also move towards vCAC.

2. Not yet.

3. Have a look on some job websites, I think it's growing but not as quickly as it perhaps should.

Hi Scott - So will writing VCP-Cloud now would have good chances to be considered for vCAC job role? As i'm not sure how much of vCD will be used in vCAC

Thanks for your inputs!
