StormWind to Produce and Deliver HD "Epic Live" Online Courses for VMware
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- StormWind, creator of a new genre of high-definition IT and custom corporate training, today announced it has been selected as a technology partner to help build and provide VMware technical training services through the company's Epic Live HD online class delivery.
VMware will begin to deliver the training in October via StormWind Epic Live as either a scheduled, live class, or as a more flexible on-demand option, and will use StormWind's proprietary delivery system. StormWind will help deliver live "edutainment" training experiences to IT pros seeking VMware authorized training and VMware certifications.

Our partnership with VMware demonstrates their interest in delivering StormWind's flexible training experiences to our customers."
