About Prasad Vadgave
I am a VMware Cloud Foundation 9 Architect with strong hands-on expertise in VCF9 design, deployment, and lifecycle operations. I specialize in vSphere 8 to VCF9 migrations, VCF5.x to VCF9 upgrade programs, and building modern, automated, and AI-ready private cloud platforms. My experience includes full-stack SDDC integration (vSphere, vSAN, NSX, Aria), architecture assessments, troubleshooting complex SDDC issues, and providing customer enablement based on VMware ILT training. I work as a trusted advisor to global clients, focusing on cloud modernization, Private AI Cloud adoption, and enterprise-grade hybrid cloud transformation.
