Have you had a chance to learn all about the new features in Windows Server 2012? All the changes to Hyper-V? Virtual FC? SMB 3.0? ODX? Storage Spaces? Powershell enhancements? SMI-S?
It's ok if you're still learning...we get it, there are a lot of changes! Join EMC and Windows IT Pro for a 3 part webcast and get caught up on all the new features of Windows Server 2012 and learn about how EMC is supporting and integrating with Microsoft's new operating system! Earlier this week I joined Mike Otey from Windows IT Pro and Mike Truitt from Microsoft to explain some of the new Windows features and how EMC is already working with Microsoft on an updated Private Cloud Fast Track solution based on Windows Server 2012 and System Center 2012 SP1! That webcast is now available to replay On Demand and there are still two more webcasts coming up later this month and in early November focusing on Microsoft virtualization, management and data protection. All the details can be found here:
