Microsoft TechNet Croatia Blog : Windows Server

Windows Server Foundation

croatia — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 01:51:00 GMT

01. travnja je datum kad je Microsoft objavio više informacija o Windows Server Foundation ediciji 2008 servera. WFS se naslanja na već poznatu stabilnu 2008 server platformu. Radi se o ediciji namjenjenoj malim tvrtkama (do 15 korisnika) koje će ovu ediciju moći kupiti samo kao predinstalirani OS kroz OEM prodajni kanal uključujući tvrke HP, IBM, DELL.

Launch novih proizvoda u Hrvatskoj

croatia — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 11:36:00 GMT

Evo došlo je vrijeme da sve zainteresirane obavijestimo kada/gdje/kako će se održavati predstavljanje novih proizvoda u lijepoj našoj.

Ovaj put ideja vodilja je bila probati napraviti launch lokalnog karaktera, na način da napravimo launch u više gradova u Hrvatskoj. Tako ćete moći prisustvovati launch eventima po slijedećem rasporedu:

4.3.2008 Zagreb
5.3.2008 Split
6.3.2008 Rijeka
7.3.2008 Osijek

U svakom od gradova biti će iste teme, slični predavači, dostupna demo zona gdje ćete moći sami probati nove proizvode i još puno lipih stvari :)

Osim ova četiri događaja, planiramo (u suradnji sa community ljudima u Hrvatskoj) napraviti i community događanja u vezi predstavljanja novih proizvoda, koji bi se trebali događati u čak 8 gradova. Više o ovome moći ćete pročitati uskoro i na blogu i na community webu.

Za sada, rezervirajte svoje vrijeme u najbližem gradu, i vidimo se!

Završio IT Forum

croatia — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:44:00 GMT

Prošli je tjedan bio TechEd IT Forum u Barceloni. Iz Hrvatske je bilo prisutno više od 30 sudionika, koji su kroz 5 dana imali priliku pratiti veliki broj predavanja i izvrsnih predavača, uključujući članove product grupa Windows Servera, Forefront obitelji, SQL Servera, Exchange-a i slično.

Objavljeni su neki novi proizvodi, promijenjena imena postojećima....puno događanja za 5 dana.

Uskoro ćemo objaviti i neke sličice s konferencije, za sada ako vas zanima više: http://www.mseventseurope.com/teched/07/itforum/

Virtualizacija

croatia — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 17:23:00 GMT

Virtualizacija je jako popularna tema koja će zbog prednosti nad klasičnim načinima upravljanja i održavanja IT infrastrukture biti sve zastupljenija u praksi. Ako vas zanima malko više informacija, možete pogledati neke od video zapisa o virtualizaciji:

Mike Neil, General Manager

Virtualization in Windows Server

http://www.microsoft.com/emea/itsshowtime/sessionh.aspx?videoid=515

The session features a discussion of the virtualization technology roadmap and an outline of Microsoft's vision for how these technologies will combine with future capabilities in processors, chipsets, and I/O devices to enable unprecedented flexibility by the Windows Server platforms.

Alex Balcanquall, Product Manager

Application and Presentation Virtualization

http://www.microsoft.com/emea/itsshowtime/sessionh.aspx?videoid=517

The new and compelling presentation virtualization features in Windows Server Longhorn Terminal Services enable customers to use remote applications and seamlessly integrate them on their users' client desktop and mobile systems. This session discusses how the new PnP Device Redirection Framework enables support of a wide range of hardware devices such as USB storage or printing in a Terminal Services session and how SoftGrid enables Terminal Services to become a truly dynamic system that is easy to manage. Other new features to be discussed include Terminal Services Gateway and Web Access, which allow the customers to provide secured access to their IT services from anywhere while protecting their investment in desktop and mobile systems.

Therron Powell, Principal PM and Mark Karnowski

http://www.microsoft.com/emea/itsshowtime/sessionh.aspx?videoid=518

Server virtualization solutions allow enterprises to aggregate server workloads within their physical server platform and improve agility of virtual machine migration across physical systems. Platform virtualization solutions create new economy of scale and dynamic configuration challenges for storage area network (SAN) integration.This session details key integration and management dimensions around the core Windows operating system, Virtual Server, future Windows virtualization, and Virtual Machine Manager. The ANSI T11 N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) standard extends a powerful complementary capability to associate multiple virtual N_Ports to a single hardware-based N_Port over the same FC switch connection. Through this standard the SAN-managed controls around zones and masks can be coordinated and specific SAN resources mapped to different virtual machine workloads while maintaining SAN best practices. Microsoft will discuss key platform virtualization design criteria and fundamental values for ecosystem compatibility and next steps for standards and extending capabilities. Emulex will join Microsoft to describe their NPIV-based HBA solution that provides administrators improved deployment, migration, and management capabilities.

Microsoft.com prebačen na Windows Server 2008!

croatia — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 14:46:00 GMT

Evo jedne interesantne vijesti. Cijeli web www.microsoft.com je prebačen na Beta 3 verziju Windows Servera 2008!

Više od 2 godine razvoja je utrošeno na novu generaciju IIS-a, i Windows Server 2008 i IIS 7 se pokazuju na živom primjeru kao odlična web platforma. Samo neke statistike:

dostupnost tijekom ove godine 99,83% (mjereno od vanjske tvrtke)
99% postojećih aplikacija migrirano bez ikakvih promjena
niti jedan problem s dostupnošću tijekom migracije na Windows Server 2008
više od 500 virtualnih webova, više od 350 IIS aplikacija unutar 12 application pool-ova

Kad se još spomene da se cijela stvar vrti u dva datacentra, sa 80 servera, onda se može vidjeti opseg cijelog projekta i njegova kompleksnost. Također, broj zahtjeva koje microsoft.com poslužuje je oko 10.000 u sekundi uz oko prosječno 300.000 istovremenih konekcija!
