Big Picture Efficiency

Have you ever wanted to see what it’s like to manage a Bright cluster but didn’t want the hassle of setting up a test cluster? Well, now you can. Our dev team has put together an interactive demo of BrightView that you can try out right from your browser.

I am delighted to share news that Bright has launched an online training portal, exclusively for our customers and partners.
