Develop and document a comprehensive migration strategy (in-place, lift-and-shift, or side-by-side) that minimizes downtime and service disruption. Implement NSX-T components including routing, distributed firewall, and VPN configurations. Execute the migration process from NSX-V to NSX-T for multiple VCD Organizations. Perform extensive testing and validation to confirm stability, performance, and security post‑migration. Collaborate with internal teams to ensure seamless integration with vCenter, vSphere, and cloud orchestration platforms. Maintain up‑to‑date technical documentation including architecture diagrams and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Troubleshoot complex networking issues and provide expert‑level technical support during and after migration. Mandatory Skills:

Proven hands‑on experience with VMware NSX-V and NSX-T (NSX Data Center). Strong understanding of Software Defined Networking (SDN) principles and architectures. Solid background in VMware vCloud Director (VCD) for network and resource orchestration. Proficiency in VMware vCenter Server and vSphere for managing virtualized environments. Advanced knowledge of routing, switching, load balancing, and network security in multi‑tenant setups. Experience with migration projects involving large‑scale or complex infrastructures. Excellent problem‑solving, documentation, and communication skills. Fluent in English; additional European languages are a plus. Preferred Skills:

VMware certifications such as VCP‑NV, VCAP‑NV, or equivalent. Experience with multi‑tenant cloud environments and network automation tools (e.g., Ansible, PowerCLI). Familiarity with monitoring and logging solutions for VMware and SDN environments. Background in enterprise cloud migration or datacenter transformation projects. Strong sense of ownership, attention to detail, and ability to work independently or in cross‑functional teams. Additional European language skills (Italian, German, or French) are a plus.
