TechNet Event - Guinness Storehouse - Using Microsoft Virtualisation Technologies!

It’s hard to believe that 2006 is drawing to a close and I am promoting the first of our 2007 event already. It’s poignant that the first of the 2007 events is titled Using Microsoft Virtualisation Technologies Today and Tomorrow

 

Virtualisation really is a HOT topic and it is changing the face of IT. Learn about the multitude of developments that have been made by Microsoft in this space on the Virtualisation website – BUT get the full technical deep dive on current technologies and where the roadmap is headed in the next 12 to 18 months at the Guinness Store House on Thursday, 18 January.

 

Ronald Beekelaar (Bio below) is an independent consultant with extensive experience in virtual machine technology, Windows Server security, and network infrastructure design. In this one day seminar, Ronald will explain the impact that Virtual Technology will have on the IT industry. Learn where the technology is headed in the next 12 to 18 months and how you can use Virtual Server to effectively manage mixed virtual and physical environments on a daily basis. Discover the tools and techniques required to use hardware more efficiently and leverage virtualisation technologies today and tomorrow.
