A couple of months ago I looked at System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager, Configuration Manager and Virtual Machine Manager for 4Sysops. Those three received quite a few improvements in the R2 release. This time I have a look at the other three parts of System Center and find that, apart from DPM, there was very few improvements in the products. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
In this final part I look at how Essentials 2012 R2 integrates with cloud services such as Office 365 and Azure backup. Read it here.
Hope you enjoyed reading these and I thank you for your time.
In this second part I look at Essential 2012 R2, what’s new (including the exciting option to run it as a VM under Hyper-V) and other improvements Microsoft’s made. Read it here.
Enjoy and thanks for reading.
Just before Christmas there was a three part article series published on 4Sysops where I look at the HP Microserver Generation 8 as well as Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. Part 1, which you can read here, covered the hardware, gotchas around RAID configuration and drivers for Windows Server 2012 R2.
Enjoy and thanks for reading.
And just after part 2 is published, here is the final part 3. This time I look at storage enhancements (Guest Fibre Channel, ODX, and bare metal deployment of Scale Out File Servers (SOFS)) as well as shared VHDX for guest clustering and the new features in services in VMM to create clusters. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for your time in reading.
And hot on the heels of the first part comes part two on what’s new in VMM 2012 R2. This part covers what’s new for VMs (Gen 2, better Linux support, faster LM) and Clouds (easier to control permissions) as well as the new service – Hyper-V Recovery Manager. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
It’s been hard finding time to write over the last couple of months with my fellow teacher’s at TAFE disappearing faster than we can keep up but here at last is part 1 of a three part series where I look at what’s new in Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. This part covers Network Virtualization enhancements such as the new gateway, IPAM integration etc. Read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
A short piece that I wrote on this year’s TechEd on the Gold Coast is now live on 4sysops, you can read it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
