I write to you today with an invite to our upcoming IT Camps, and to the System Center 2012 Launch. Today we're announcing three new IT Camp topics - enabling the consumerisation of IT (one-day workshop) preparing your datacenter for the private cloud (one-day workshop), and implementing the private cloud (two-day workshop). We are presenting each of these workshops in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Our first set of IT Camps, covering Virtualisation, became fully-booked in just two days - so make sure to register a seat as soon as possible! Never heard of an IT Camp? These are one- or two-day workshops that offer deep-dive technical training. Join your peers for a hands-on, highly-interactive and engaging learning experience around Microsoft technologies and solutions. Have real-world discussions and work with technology experts and your peers to solve scenario-based problems. And finally, I would like to invite you to join us for the System Center 2012 Launch. Come along to see what the future of cloud computing looks like, now.

The time is now to move the critical services this infrastructure supports to new more modern hardware along with the current supported revisions of the Windows Server Platform. Bring your questions on essential services such as Active Directory, Group Policy, DHCP, DNS, File/Print, Certificate Services and Hyper-V virtualization to this unique Microsoft event where we will SHOW you real life answers to real life questions. No death by Powerpoint here. This camp will provide you with interactive demos and hone your skills in a hands-on lab environment - migrating x86 Windows Server 2003 servers to x64 Windows Server 2008 R2.One-day workshop:
