Job Description

VMware is the leader in cloud infrastructure, business mobility and virtualization software. A pioneer in the use of virtualization and policy-driven automation technologies, VMware simplifies IT complexity across the entire data center to the virtual workplace, empowering customers with solutions in the software-defined data center to hybrid cloud computing and the mobile workspace. With 2016 revenues of $7.09 billion, VMware has more than 500,000 customers, 75,000 partners, and 18,000+ employees in 120+ locations around the world. At the core of what we do are our employees who deeply value execution, passion, integrity, customers, and community. VMware's SD-WAN by VeloCloud is solving IT's problem of cost effectively provisioning enterprise branches with reliable, high performance as well as managed access to public and private cloud applications. As applications and services migrate from enterprise hosted and managed sites and data centers to the cloud, reliable access over fixed and mobile broadband becomes critical. Existing solutions are suited for larger, IT supported sites, accessing enterprise data centers over private, dedicated networks, which are often expensive to procure and operate.
