Hey Vancouver IT Pros!!! IT Virtualization Boot Camps Are Coming to Your City Feb 10 & 11!!

Wow! When we announced the IT Virtualization Boot Camps in the TechNet eNewsletter last week, the response from you has been overwhelming. Many of you emailed me saying you wanted an IT Virtualization Boot Camp in your city. The folks on the West Coast, were especially vocal.

Well, I am happy to announce that we will be holding IT Virtualization Boot Camps in Vancouver on Friday, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th.

IT Virtualization Boot Camps are brought to you by your local user group and Microsoft TechDays Canada.

The Vancouver IT Virtualization Boot Camps will take place downtown at 1111 West Georgia in the Georgia Room on the ground floor on Friday, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th.

he IT Virtualization Boot Camp provides a fun and collaborative environment where you will get hands-on experience to:

Prepare your Windows Server-based computer for virtualization
Configure an iSCSI storage server
Create a Windows Failover Cluster
Make Hyper-V virtual machines highly available and using Live Migration to move running workloads between hosts with no loss in client connectivity
Integrate non-Microsoft-based virtual machines into your cluster
See how Windows Failover Clustering can help to make dealing with hardware failure easier

The cost to attend an IT Virtualization Boot Camp is $25 with proceeds going to your local user group. This means that not only are you getting 6 hours of hands-on experience with Hyper-V, iSCSI, Windows Failover Clustering, and more – you’re also helping your user group to support you and your peers with ongoing activities.

Register now for one of the two IT Virtualization Boot Camps taking place in Vancouver on Friday, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th.

Tentatively we are also planning to hold IT Virtualization Boot Camps in Ottawa on February 17 & 18, as well as in Calgary on March 11 & 12 and will provide more details and registration links once available.
