Road Trip FREE Virtualization IT Camps!
Yes! We’re coming back to a classroom near you (I hope) for an intense, full-day of training and hands-on with Windows Server 2012, Hyper-V, and System Center.
The modern datacenter is already virtualizing, and likely virtualizing using VMware vSphere, vCenter, and so on. That’s why we think it’s time to help you – the VMware IT Professional – learn about and get familiar with all that Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 can do; and in terms that you’ll understand. As many of you may know we just delivered a 35 part series titled VMware or Microsoft. Now it is time for you to come out and try it out Hyper-V for yourself! The series can be found here:
Here’s the full class description from the registration page:
