Some of the questions addressed in this video:
Radio where we will talk about how Microsoft’s Windows Server 2012 stacks up against VMware.
1) Perhaps you can kick things off by letting our audience know who you are and what you do.
2) I have heard descriptions like “leap frog” and “game changer” to describe Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012. Are these terms just marketing hype or is there really something big on the horizon?
3) It looks like there are some really big changes on the storage horizon. Can you can tell us about some the capabilities inside of terms like: Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) , Native 4K Disk Support and huge 64TB VHDX files for guest disks. Are any of these
4) It looks like SMB 3 clustering support and “Share Nothing Live Migration” can not only save enterprises a boatload of money, they can bring enterprise features to smaller companies. How do you see these capabilities impacting the virtualization space?
5) I know you did a few sessions at TechEd North America last week.
a. VIR311 – Compete to Win, Part 1: Comparing Core Virtualization Platforms
b. VIR312 – Compete to Win, Part 2: Comparing Private Cloud Capabilities
c. MGT333 – Microsoft System Center 2012: Managing Heterogeneous Environments with a Microsoft Private Cloud
I did some looking and your sessions are already live on msTechEd.com. How was the introduction to this new technology received by the TechEd Audience?
6) How does all of this impact the Private Cloud landscape?
7) Are there other things you care to share?
8) Backups and DR?
