For over 20 years, the employee-owners of SMS proTECH have been striving for your business through responsiveness, adaptability and relationships.

Justin Paul, SMS proTECH Engineer, Named One of Only 255 vEXPERTS for 2011

The VMware vExpert Award is given to individuals who have significantly contributed to the community of VMware users over the past year. vExperts are book authors, bloggers, VMUG leaders, tool builders, and other IT professionals who share their knowledge and passion with others. These vExperts have gone above and beyond their day jobs to share their technical expertise and communicate the value of VMware and virtualization to their colleagues and community. Congratulations to Justin, from your fellow employees at SMS proTECH.

What is a vEXPERT?

Candidates qualify by being active and sharing their technical knowledge and experiences using VMware with others. This could be online -- answering questions on the VMware Communities, running a blog -- or it could be offline, for example by helping organize or speaking at VMware User Groups or other events.

Award winners can call themselves VMware vExperts and use the vExpert logo for one year. Award winners may receive the award in following years, but renewal is not automatic. Renewal is based on contributions to the community and evangelism over the preceding year. Award winners must be at least 18 years old. vExperts can be employees of customers or partners, or even users of our free software. Awards are to individuals, not companies. VMware employees are not eligible.

Nominations and applications were taken from both inside VMware and the public in January, 2009. A committee of VMware employees determined the award winners based on their contributions in 2008. The biggest benefit of the award is the public recognition as a VMware vExpert Award winner.

vExperts do not represent VMware. vExperts do not have any further obligations; the award is based on their contribution over the past year. There will be a gathering for award winners at VMworld, as well as other exclusive online events.
