Watch this webinar with Scott Lowe, Founder and Managing Consultant at The 1610 Group, and SolarWinds virtualization expert Jonathan Reeve where they discuss “Hyper-V vs. vSphere: Understanding the differences.”
The virtualization market is abuzz with talk of different hypervisors – most prominently VMware ESX® versus Microsoft Hyper-V®, who together own over 90% of the market. Small and medium businesses are already moving quickly toward Hyper-V, and a growing number of larger organizations are beginning to put plans in place to transition some portion of their environment from ESX to Hyper-V.
In this webcast we explore the reasons for these changes and the ecosystems for these two platforms both now and in the future. We also take a look ahead to what is known about Hyper-V 3.0 and why it warrants an even deeper look when evaluating hypervisors for your future virtualization deployments.

Windows Server Infrastructure Upgrade and Redesign at EchoSoft.
Overview
EchoSoft is an educational software developer that provides software and cloud computing solutions to private and public educational institutions throughout North America and Europe. The organization currently has four major offices located in Vienna, Virginia, San Jose, California and Dublin, Ireland. A sales team of more than a hundred work across the United States and Europe, primarily from their own homes. EchoSoft has experienced a combination of growth and disaster in the last 3 years and plans to add an additional 130+ employees, including opening a new office in Austin Texas in the next 6 months. To meet these growth challenges, EchoSoft is in the process of upgrading the network environment from the current ad hoc design, comprised of Windows 2003, 2008 and *NIX systems, to Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory. Steps have already been taken to improve the network infrastructure. The Vienna Virginia location has replaced all 2008 Domain Controllers with Windows 2012 Servers. However, the San Jose and Dublin locations are still running a single Windows 2008 Domain Controller at each site. Currently all server and workstation IP addresses are statically assigned. DNS is hosted on an older generation UNIX server that has been hacked several times due to faulty security. Remote users currently connect via VPN, which has caused numerous security incidents due to missing antivirus software, outdated AV signatures and missing OS patches on workstations and laptops.
Although the Austin location has not officially opened there are six users currently deployed to that location. There are currently no domain controllers or qualified personal to support them at this location. This site needs to be incorporated into the EchoSoft Active Directory ASAP. Austin users must be able to authenticate and access EchoSoft Active Directory services. EchoSoft has recently acquired another company EduTech Inc. The existing EduTech Active Directory Domain needs to be integrated into the existing EchoSoft Active Directory forest. The EchoSoft data center is located at the Vienna and Dublin locations. This is where EchoSoft hosts and maintains its cloud computing services. Due to increased demand for its cloud services EchoSoft has experienced difficulty getting servers and services deployed in time due to the lack of an efficient and cost-effective deployment process. The current Active Directory is a single domain. It is up to you finish the network design and improve the server infrastructure.

Attendees will leave this session with a better understanding of use cases and best practices as well as guidance for determining whether a given solution is worth exploring for their enterprise.
