Coinciding with VMworld Europe, VMware has just announced the first round of vExpert Awardees. Envisioned in the mould of Microsoft’s MVP award, the VMware vExperts are recognized for their contributions to the VMware community.

Although a full list of awardees has not yet been released, VMware has established a landing page for the award, and some in the community have raised their hands as awardees.

Among the VMware vExperts is Gestalt IT’s own Rich Brambley, as well as Scott Lowe, a behind-the-scenes friend to Gestalt IT! Congratulations, guys!
