datacenter, enables a system administrator to manage virtualization hosts,

networking, and storage resources. With VMM 2012 you can optimize your

existing investments by managing multi-hypervisor environments such as Windows

Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, and VMware vSphere 4.1 in a single

pane of glass.

create and deploy virtual machines and private clouds. We will see how you can

pool and dynamically allocate virtualized datacenter resources enabling

self-service infrastructure experience for your business, with flexible

role-based delegation and access control. You’ll walk away from the session with

a clear understanding of how this versatile tool can help you manage you virtual

environment and private cloud. System Center skills are not going to be optional

in the IT department of the future, now is the time to start learning

about them!
