We are happy to announce a new academic software partnership between Neumont University and VMware. This gives all of our actively enrolled students free access to VMware tools. VMware is one of the leading software manufacturers in the virtualization sector, providing the server virtualization platform for the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies. This partnership provides our students with full access to a broad range of these tools. While there are many applications for virtual servers/workstations in the I.T. industry, they can be particularly useful as development environments for programmers.
Accessing the Neumont VMware download site is very similar to our Microsoft MSDNAA/ELMS environment. Visit http://my.neumont.edu/vmware, and enter your NUID credentials. Select the Student tab near the top of the page, and choose the product you would like to download. All actively enrolled students have access to this site, as well as faculty. The license keys are good for a year, and may be renewed as long as you are an actively enrolled student.
If you haven’t learned about server and workstation virtualization yet, take a little time and research the topic. It’s good stuff, and I guarantee you will eventually be using virtualization tools during your post-Neumont programming adventures. The VMware tools site has some great eLearning tools you can use to get started.
Also, here are some links on virtualization:

If you have any problems accessing the VMware tools, please email support@neumont.edu. Have a great weekend!
