Did you know that 50 percent of desktop virtualization initiatives fail?
Most challenges are due to poor user satisfaction, poor performance and
escalating costs. With such an important initiative, you cannot afford to
take a 50/50 chance for success.
Join the webinar "VDI Best Practices - How to Ensure a Great
Customer Experience When Deploying Client Virtualization" to increase your odds of project success and
ensure user satisfaction from day one. You’ll learn from virtualization
expert Roy Francis of FusionStorm how to successfully deploy desktop
virtualization projects and overcome user problems.
Learn how to better prepare for your desktop virtualization initiative,
and then once deployed how to ensure a great user experience. We will
discuss:
• The pitfalls to avoid when implementing desktop virtualization
• Tips and tricks for overcoming user challenges
• Considerations for migrating to XenApp 6.5 and Windows 2008
• How to address performance and scalability concerns
During Microsoft Techday 2012 (Malaysia), we have presented about operating system virtualization, presentation virtualization and application virtualization.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is still a relatively new technology. Most people are either unaware or have only a brief idea about this emerging technology. This Slide share will provide your 12 points which you must know before implementing VDI Technology in your business.
Show your customers exactly what you do during each remote support login.
As a Value-Add Reseller or Managed Services Provider, your customers depend on you to keep their platforms up-and-running. But blind-trust creates a relationship of ambiguity and doubt. When you record Terminal session and remote logins, every action that your staff performs on your customers' networks, you eliminate the cloud of doubt- with precise auditing.
Know who made each configuration change
Demonstrate precise actions with session playback
Reduce time-to-repair...
VDI-in-a-Box: Microsoft Desktop Virtualization for Smaller Businesses and UsesConcentrated Technology
Today’s talk about VDI centers around deploying hundreds or thousands of desktops. But sometimes you just want access for a few people and a few applications. Or, you just can’t afford big-budget solutions. Have you tried Microsoft Hyper-V and RDS? Combining these two tools, a sufficiently-powerful server, and the information in this session, you’ll quickly build a single-server VDI solution for just those small needs. Join RDS MVP Greg Shields for a look at the very small in VDI. He’ll show you how to get started on the most micro of budgets, and send you home with the exact click-by-click to begin hosting your own virtual desktops.

Until recently Windows Azure has been a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. PaaS is great in terms of scalability, availability, lower TCO and time-to-market, but there are a lot of real world scenarios that either are hard to implement on PaaS or still require on-premises infrastructure. June 7th this year Microsoft launched a preview offering of Infrastructure-as-a-Service as well. Now, we have Windows Azure Virtual Machines and Windows Azure Virtual Network at our disposal, which makes a lot of these real world scenarios feasible in Windows Azure without harming the business case for that scenario.
Slides from AIS and Microsoft's half-day session on the recently-announced Windows Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. After a brief overview of the Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS) model, we will focus on key IaaS concepts. Additionally, we will walk you through a number of scenarios enabled by Azure IaaS and several demonstrations.

The Skype for Business (Lync) apps are one of the ubiquitous aspect of the product. Mobility is cross platform (Android, IOS and Windows are supported), has specific requirements and (in Skype for Business) adds some specific limits for clients on authentication, security and features. As part of the default server features, mobility is now both easier and more critical to understand. In this session, we will see what has been made available for the mobile users and what will be released. Configurations, requirements and deployment suggestions will be explained for on-premises, Cloud and hybrid deployments
Skype for business understanding what is new, preview or unchangedFabrizio Volpe
After seven months from the release date of Skype for Business, it is a good moment for an assessment. We will see what is new, what is available as a preview and what has not changed from Lync Server 2013. The session will be a high-level overview of the innovations in the product. We will talk about topics Video Interop Server role, improvements in server management and voice and meetings capabilities in Office 365 that are now in preview (Skype Meeting Broadcast, PSTN Conferencing and Cloud PBX).
Hybrid Clouds: “Silver Bullet” of the Cloud Computing?Fabrizio Volpe
In this talk, we will see concepts and recently architectural modification and news regarding the hybrid Cloud.
An hybrid Cloud combines public cloud and private data center principles, granting access to the advantages of both kind of deployment.
This is fast growing market, because many companies desire configurations and features from both the sides of the Cloud (regardless of their size and the number of users).
We will talk about how customers are able to plan hybrid scenarios starting from on-premises deployment or from the Cloud, and then manage, control and secure both the environments with the same tools and interfaces.
We will examine how workloads and users can be moved to the public Cloud and back to the private Cloud in a seamless manner and draw some considerations on this specific computing scenario.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
