Hi guys,
I am still considering to obtain VCP-DCV (I think the aim would be 6.5 instead of initial 6.0) through VCP-NV as I CCNP holder. I know that NSX software is hardware greedy and for this reason I am going to build Core i7-6800K / 128GB DDR4 / 2TB SSD desktop. However, I am still unsure if at least 60-70% of what I need to play around with NSX can be done within nested virtualization.
Guys, I highly appreciate your thoughts in this regards.
Thank you.
