To enhance security and manageability we have been encouraged to deploy physical servers that implement a single operational role such as SQL, a domain controller, and Exchange. Through these methods we have built secure, high-availability systems for our organizations, but now it’s time to take a step back and learn the skills necessary to benefit from server virtualization.

Server virtualization can simplify management, increase security and reduce costs. Benefits include:

• Resource sharing
• Fewer physical servers, reducing
• Power requirements for servers and cooling
• Rack space
• Physical device management
• Simpler deployment of virtualized images
• Fast provisioning and configuration as business demand change
• Flexible disaster recovery
• Optimised development and test environments

In this one-day seminar we will show you how Hyper-V works and how to maximise its benefits in both development and production environments. You will learn about management, migration, security, high-availability, backup and optimised resource usage.

As with all seminars you will gain the XTSeminars 10 Core Benefits, with this seminar you will also learn how to
