The Who:

“ Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let us simply add that it’s our very good honor to meet you and you may call us InfraTalks . ”

Do not worry, our future posts are not going to be this complicated.

The What:

An initiative to enrich, enlarge and reach out to the Microsoft community, presenting you the InfraTalks. A team blog conceptualized by lucky number 13 members; we cover more than 20 Microsoft Core Infrastructure technologies amongst us ranging from System Center to Active Directory, from Security to Virtualization. The team collectively has more than 30 years of experience in Microsoft technologies for Server/Client deployment and management; and more than 50 years of experience in the IT industry.

With such an envying group of people come together for a blog, the results can be awesome. These grand results will be achieved by posts about:

  1. Newest announcement in Microsoft technologies.
  2. Step-By-Step posts of installation of Microsoft Core Infrastructure products.
  3. Events and workshops conducted.
  4. Features and gotchas.
