Our sessions

Raymond and I will present two 40-minute sessions:

Automatic D, T and A environments and Continuous Integration with Veeam and Microsoft

11:30AM – 12:10PM, Track 5: The New Datacenter, will it empower us?

Microsoft Azure changes daily. We can expect a new version of Windows Server every six months. Although Microsoft offers a wide bandwidth of supported versions, organizations expect their admins to keep up and stay within the bandwidth.

The only way we see admins keep up is by testing changes and formally accept these changed in representative test and acceptance environments. Raymond and I show the attendees how to achieve this, costeffectively and safe. We’ll also share our best practices, based on our experiences with Veeam and Microsoft technologies and products. We’ll enable their organizations to take a couple of steps forward.

How to Migrate off your on-premises environments

2:15PM – 2:55PM, Track 8: The Power of Cloud

The continuing waves in the sea of IT push us towards the cloud, today. Yesterday’s wave of virtualization and last decade’s waves of VDI and centralization might have left you wary of any new projects. But today’s news is really something and we’d like you to pay attention, because it’s easily digestible with last decade’s experience under your belt.

Raymond and I show you how to embrace the new possibilities of the cloud and potentially get rid of the square footage, cooling needs, firewalls and even your Domain Controllers. Dive into the full stack of Microsoft cloud possibilities and impossibilities with us.
