Re:VMware Buys Nicira for $1.26B on Monday July 23, 2012 @06:02PM (#4283283)
If its not that advanced, why aren't you selling your company to VMware today? Clearly this problem is extremely difficult and having met some of the Nicira team, I'd say this problem could not have been tackled by most software engineers. There are some wicked distributed systems problems among other things.

Stanford CS majors who take the AI track are required to take both CS 229 and this course, CS 221, so it definitely presents useful materials and concepts.
