TechNet Webcast: How to Manage Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 in Large Enterprises (Level 300)

Wednesday, June 10, 2009 1:00 PM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Many companies manage significant deployments of System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 using its own management console, the DPM PowerShell command language, or the newly released Operations Manager 2007 management pack. During this webcast, we’ll provide some high level information on each of these. But large enterprises often require centralized management and reporting for multiple backup platforms, not only for multiple DPM servers, but across backup solutions from various vendors. To facilitate that, Microsoft has partnered with Bocada, which offers centralized data protection management functionality across multiple protection products. In this webcast, we’ll take a look at the centralized console for DPM 2007 that Bocada has created, as well as look at the seamlessly integrated monitoring of DPM and non-DPM backups within the Bocada solution.

Configuration Manager Service Pack 1 Ships

We release Configuration Manager 2007 SP1! It is amazing to see that this was not a release based in bug fix, quite the opposite, there are hardly any hotfixes included in this release. This is a reflection of changes such as the ship of Windows Server 2008 and Vista SP1. With some engineering cycles aligning, we have added some additional features that were ready to go at this time.

24-06-08 MSDN Webcast: Driving Contextual Collaboration with Office Communicator 2007 (Level 300)

How often have your users called or sent instant messages (IMs) to each other about information in your application? Why not build that communications functionality directly into your application? In this webcast, we use the Microsoft Unified Communication (UC) platform to create contextual collaboration solutions using IM, voice, and video communications built directly into applications. We start by building presence information into an application using the Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Presence Controls so users can see if coworkers are available and willing to communicate. Using the Office Communicator software development kit (SDK), we use just a few lines of code to launch IM, voice, video, or conferencing sessions directly from an application. From there, we then add value to the conversation by building context into the conversation using information directly from your application, similar to what Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 does when you click the "Reply with IM" button in an e-mail.

White Paper: Security Overview for Database Administrators 2008.

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/wp-sql-2008-security.aspx

SQL Server 2008 is secure by design, default, and deployment. Microsoft is committed to communicating information about threats, countermeasures, and security enhancements as necessary to keep your data as secure as possible. This paper covers some of the most important security features in SQL Server 2008. It tells you how, as an administrator, you can install SQL Server securely and keep it that way, even as applications and users make use of the data stored within.

White Paper: SQL Server 2008 Compared to Oracle Database 11g

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/sql2008-oracle11g.aspx

Microsoft SQL Server has steadily gained ground on other database systems and now surpasses the competition in terms of performance, scalability, security, developer productivity, business intelligence (BI), and compatibility with the 2007 Microsoft Office System. It achieves this at a considerably lower cost than does Oracle Database 11g.

White Paper: Running SQL Server 2008 on Windows Server 2008

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/wp-run-sql-2008-on-windows-server-2008.aspx

The combination of SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 offers enterprise IT administrators and professional developers a superlative platform for mission-critical applications together with enhanced end-to-end security, management, and development capabilities.

Throughout this series, we use Contoso as our scenario customer as we explore the features that make up the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 platform. Contoso is a shipping company that delivers all kinds of items around the globe, from small individual items to large manufactured items. Contoso has seen growth in its business over the past years, especially in the movement of goods from China around the world. While Contoso is happy with their in-house applications and believe they provide a significant advantage over competitors, Contoso wants to ensure that these applications are running on the most productive platform to maintain this advantage, especially as their business grows worldwide. The recent growth at Contoso has been mirrored with the growth of its data, from client voice mails to scanned and e-mail documents. These documents are now common as part of insurance claims or parts of quotes. This growth in unstructured data has led Contoso to look at options for its storage, access, security, and searching needs.
