Rob BastiaansenFor several years I have been working as a VMware, Linux- and Novell-consultant and - trainer. With regards to VMware products I have worked with their software since 2000 and I an current on vSphere and vCenter, Workstation and Server, VMware View and related technologies such as using PowerCLI, VMware troubleshooting and performance analysys. I am a VMware Certified Instructor.

In the Novell-area I have worked with most products, obviously the NetWare-versions 3/4/5/6, Open Enterprise Server and NDS eDirectory. But I have also worked on projects where I helped implement ZENworks for desktops and many other Novell products. In 2000 I was the first Certified Directory Engineer in The Netherlands and one of the first two CDE's in Europe. I am certified as a Master Certified Novell Instructor. I also deliver Linux-training for SUSE Linux for the Certified Linux Professional Track, a certification which I also hold.

For the websites I build and manage I use Drupal (CMS), PHP MySQL and ZOHO Creator (web applications and databases). I can work in those fields for your organisation too.

The main focus of my activities is at VMware and Novell/Linux-products, but I have also worked with several other platforms and products. Besides my work as a consultant and trainer I am also a freelance journalist for a number of Dutch IT magazines. Therefore I have a very broad knowledge of the IT market. I haven't only worked as a consultant but also as project manager for several projects in various organisations. And being an enterpreneur I have learned how to work with people and processes.

Besides the activities listed above I have also translated a few computer related books from English to Dutch, such as Network and System Integration for Dummies and JavaServer Pages from O'Reilly. And I have written and published my own books on VMware and NetWare and wrote a clustering book for Novell Press.
