I have been getting a whole bunch of questions around Microsoft’s Private Cloud offerings. The virtualization website has some great information and I still highly recommend that you begin by reading the stuff on that site. In conjunction with that information I have decided to deliver a series of 4 webcasts on the topic of “How to Build a Private Cloud.” The webcasts will be delivered live during the month of June 2011. You are welcome to register to listen live where you can ask questions or of course you can listen to the recordings. You can register for the webcasts using the following links.

The series will run on three Fridays and then the final Wednesday of June. It should be lots of fun. I look forward to seeing (or hearing) you there.
