  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Hands on experience with VMware ESX environment - the only ever experience was with Virtual Machines was using VMware player at University (very limited, not that sophisticated). Learnt very technical aspects of Server environments, how they should be correctly setup and maintained. Storage considerations that hadn't previously knew of. It's given me inspiration for my final-year Dissertation/Project.
