Microsoft Datacentre Security & Management Update

Having updated my Exchange skills last week to 2010 I thought it worth recapping on the protection offered by Forefront Protection for Exchange this useful FAQ will run you through some of the main points of interest.

The Microsoft Virtual Academy is the ideal place to start your learning journey for both the present incarnation and the 2012 versions of Microsoft Private Cloud you can select a track and study the material and then do the self-assessment this will earn you a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum accreditation. If you are wanting Private Cloud resources without having to join the virtual academy try this. Whilst we’re talking private cloud Hyper-V Nu has a great article on Private Cloud explained. Finally on Private Cloud all the System Centre 2012 products have now gone Release Candidate.

Ever thought that Microsoft can only monitor their own virtualised solution well think again thanks to the Veeam nworks Management pack you can get the same level of rich intelligence from both Hyper-V and VMware.

Just in case you missed Microsoft announce the release of the Lync Mobile client for Windows Mobile and can be downloaded from Windows Marketplace, Lync clients for other mobile vendors are also available.

That’s it for this week, have fun!
