Servervirtualisierungssessions der TechED 2011 North America
Hier veröffentliche ich einen Gastbeitrag von Carsten Rachfahl (MVP Virtual Machine):
Vom 16 – 19 Mai 2011 fand in Atlanta wieder die TechED 2011 North America statt. Die TechED ist eine jährliche Großveranstaltung von Microsoft, auf der einerseits Neuerungen vorgestellt, sowie Wissen über die vorhandenen Produkte vermittelt und vertieft wird. Meist treten namhafte Redner, Entwickler und MVPs auf, die ihre Kenntnisse über das gesamte Spektrum der Microsoft Palette verkünden.
Da nicht jeder die TechED direkt besuchen kann, werden die Vorträge aufgezeichnet und online über “Channel 9” bereitgestellt. Die Videos sind dort aber nicht nur für TechED Teilnehmer, sondern für alle Interessierten kostenlos zum Ansehen und zum Download verfügbar.
Aus der Menge von Vorträgen habe wir nun einmal für Sie die Videos zum Gebiet der Virtualisierung herausgesucht. Die Vorträge geben einen hervorragenden Überblick über Themen, wie RemoteFX, VDI, Server Überwachungstools und vieles mehr.
Wir wünschen viel Spass beim Anschauen.
[Aufgrund der Lokalisierung des Veranstaltungsortes in Atlanta (Nord Amerika) sind die Vorträge in Englisch]
