If VDI is the Future, then IDV is the Present: Everyone is talking about VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) but that is still a futuristic solution whereas intelligent desktop virtualization (IDV), a term nobody seems to be using, provides the value of centralized management without the added infrastructure expense we see with VDI. It’s always great to look to the future, but companies need to provide solid solutions that are cost effective today and that is where VDI fails and IDV succeeds. This session will go into greater detail on the value of IDV over VDI.
Virtualizing Exchange: Best Practices and Gotchas!: For years I’ve been talking about virtualizing Exchange, writing about virtualizing Exchange… and well, obviously virtualizing Exchange. I’ve picked up a lot of essential best practices. Some of these come from knowing the support policies of Microsoft for virtualization. Some come from seeing what doesn’t work well in the real world and wanting to help folks avoid those common mistakes. One thing is a certainty, you haven’t heard some of the tips I plan on presenting here, including one big secret for Exchange 2013 that may have you avoiding Exchange virtualization at times. I’ll save that for the session. ;-)
