gasou Georgia Southern University, located southeast of Atlanta in Statesboro, GA, has introduced a program to teach VMware virtualization technology to the students of it’s College of Information Technology. As one of only 10 universities in the world designated as a VMware Academy, Georgia Southern is teaching it’s students official VMware courses and certifying students as VCPs (VMware Certified Professionals). The program was made possible by VMware and a donation of computer equipment valued at $126,000 from Norcross, GA based Corus360 and Canvas Systems.

Read more about the VMware Academy on the Georgia Southern University Advantage web page.

Corus Consulting and Canvas Systems are actually the “other half” of Softchoice Optimus Solutions, my employer, that was not aquired by Softchoice Corporation in January 2008. I congratulate and applaud Corus and Canvas

for their generous donation and commitment to advancing virtualization technology in the University System of Georgia and the greater South East U.S.

As a father planning for the future education of two sons, a graduate of the University of Georgia, and a VMware VCP myself, I take pride in knowing that if my boys decide to be a virtualization geek like their Dad they don’t have far to go to take advantage of a great program.

As close as Statesboro is to Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Savannah, and Hilton Head, how could any student considering a degree in I.T. and interested in virtualization not consider Georgia Southern? Then once finished with school, Atlanta’s not a bad town for a technology career either!
