I wanted to express how impressed we were with the STORDIS (route2open) Bootcamp. The training was valuable for our team, which included members from sales, IT, and TAC support, and Waldemar was excellent to work with. He consistently provided insightful information and was always prompt in answering our questions or following up with the necessary details. I would definitely recommend this training to anyone who is new to SONiC or looking to deepen their understanding of the Broadcom version.

SONiC Bootcamp was an amazing experience – the labs were not only engaging but also cleverly structured. Each task built seamlessly on the same consistent topology, allowing the configuration to evolve naturally from installation to advanced features. And whenever something went wrong, I always got clear and helpful answers to all my questions.
