Virtualization
We have a Virtualization Webcast series coming up that dives a lot deeper into the benefits of virtualization. You can register for it here --
The individual sessions and a few extra that are on demand are:
Virtualization and Windows Server 2008
An overview of the virtualization role, the scenarios, and the features that make server virtualization an important pillar of Windows Server 2008. We also cover the longer-term strategy and road map for Microsoft virtualization technologies.
Examining Virtualization with Windows Server 2008
In this session, we examine Microsoft virtualization and how to implement it with Windows Server 2008. We cover topics including: presentation, application, and server virtualization scenarios and technologies.
A 360 View Inside the Virtual World
Gain insight into the overall Microsoft virtualization strategy. Learn about the Microsoft road map for virtualization and examine what workloads make good candidates for virtualization and why you would consider moving these workloads into a virtual world.
Windows Server Virtualization Under the Hood
This session covers the new hypervisor-based architecture. We look at the integrated management for virtual and physical resources, including the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), the new virtual machine creation wizard, the conversion tools, the performance enhancements, and the integration into Group Policy.
Virtualization of Test and Development Environments, and the Impact on Existing Applications
We look at virtualization solutions starting with moving existing applications and infrastructure servers into a virtualized environment. We also look at the impact of virtualizing test and development environments, and some of the tools available that make this process easily manageable.
Virtualization of Production Workloads Including Active Directory, SQL Server, and Others
We cover some of the best practices and tips for virtualization of infrastructure workloads, such as the Active Directory directory service, file and print, and Web servers, and the benefits of mixed workload virtualization.
Optimized and Dynamic Branch Offices with Virtualized Branch Office Servers
Learn about what you should consider before, during, and after a server consolidation in a branch office, and the role virtualization can play. We provide a view of how and where virtualization fits in a branch office, and how it helps simplify administration and creates a self-managing branch infrastructure.
Managing a Virtual Solution with System Center
We cover Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager for backup and restore, and Microsoft System Center Operations Manager and Virtual Machine Manager for management and performance tuning.
Creating Business Continuity Solutions Using Windows Virtualization
Learn how Windows Server virtualization and clustering can be used to create business continuity solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and infrastructure workloads. See how to use the new features in Windows Server virtualization, such as live backup, health monitoring, quick migration, and guest clustering.
Introducing SoftGrid to the World
Which to use, Microsoft SoftGrid or Terminal Services? In this session, we look at these solutions, provide details on how they differ, and explain when to use them. We also cover how to install, configure, and use SoftGrid.
