Greg Shields
Tuesday, October 14 - 9:30 a.m.
Hyper-V is here, its hot, and its ready to support your virtualization needs.  Best of all, its virtually free!  But to use it best, you’ve got to understand how it works.  You need to know how to install it, how to use it, and where it works best in your network environment.  In this focused look at Microsoft’s new virtualization platform, we’ll learn the basics for getting Hyper-V up and running in your network.  You’ll understand how to get virtual machines running, and the very best ways to configure it for highest performance.

Greg Shields
Wednesday, October 15 - 1:45 p.m.
There’s more to virtualization than just its hypervisor.  There’s a whole layer of management and utilities that you need to do it in the best way possible.  One of those tools is System Center Virtual Machine Manager, which can connect and manage not only Microsoft virtualization but also the virtualization platforms for most of its competitors too.  In this session on what’s new and exciting in SCVMM, you’ll learn how to use this tool to manage multiple virtualization environments from a single console.  You’ll learn the tips and tricks of using the right virtualization platform for the right workload.  No matter what virtual server you use, you’ll want to attend this session and find out more.
