Adventures in Virtualization

Course Objectives:

Today’s powerful x64 bit computer hardware was originally designed to run only a single operating system and a single application, but virtualization breaks that bond, making it possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same computer at the same time, increasing the utilization and flexibility of hardware.

The latest release of Windows server 2008 represents the next generation of Server platform and a major investment for Microsoft. As a product, Server 2008 contains more cool features than your average James Bond movie. “Q” would be proud!  One of the “must have’s” of 2008 is Virtualization. From Hyper-V to Terminal Services. Virtualization is expanding into new areas and changing our world.

This exclusive and intensive 2 day event is designed for experienced users of the Windows Server platform and aims to give a clear understanding on what virtualization is and more importantly what it can do. From Machine, Presentation and Application Virtualization we dive deeper into new and anticipated technologies. Previous knowledge or skills would be useful.
