Back in the October issue of Technet Magazine I wrote about how to take all your network and compute hardware, along with any existing VMware and XENServer clusters and manage all that fabric with SCVMM 2012 SP1. Read that “part 1” here.
In the November issue is part 2 where I cover the next step which is to build a cloud on top of the fabric. This part looks at services in SCVMM, private clouds as well as the new Service Provider Foundation (SPF). Read it here.
Enjoy, and thanks for reading.
I had the great good fortune to interview Carol Wapshere at this year’s TechEd. Carol is unusual in that she’s a woman, working in IT (there are far too few of them) and even more unusual because she’s stayed in technical roles most of her career, instead of moving into management as many IT Pros and developers do as their career matures. We talked about Forefront Identity Manager and identity in IT in general as well as looked at why there are so few women in IT. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
The fourth and final part of my Windows Intune (version 3) review is now online – read it here. I look at improvements to the management console as well as the integration with System Center Configuration Manager 2012 that’s coming SP1 for System Center 2012.
Enjoy! And thanks for your time in reading.
It took a while but my review of System Center Data Protection Manager 2012 is now live on Redmond Magazine’s page – read it here.

I have written a two part deep dive into using System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1 for Technet Magazine. The first part looks at using SCVMM to manage your fabric, the underlying hardware, clusters, networks and storage as well as setting up SCVMM in a Highly Available fashion. The second part will cover building your private cloud on top of this managed fabric.
Read part 1 here.
Enjoy and thanks for reading.
Two weeks ago I attended TechEd here in Australia as a guest of Microsoft. It was a great experience which has already resulted in two published interviews, here and here, with more to follow. Here’s a short post about my experiences of TechEd and why you should attend next year if you haven’t been already.
Enjoy – and thanks for reading.
