NEW DATES NOW ADDED DUE TO SELL OUT EVENTS
“Following the 2007 launch of Exchange, Vista and Office, in 2008 Microsoft completes its biggest ever product launch with the arrival of Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008.. More than ever, IT Managers need to understand what these new products deliver and what if anything they can do for their organisations. All the pieces are in place to allow organisations to build and deploy solutions that offer more control and functionality than ever before. Although the primary focus of this seminar will be a review of the key capabilities of Server 2008, we will also look at how the line is blurred between Windows Server, SQL 2008 and Visual Studio 2008, discussing how together they will impact your business from a technology and skills perspective.”
Overview
Building on the hugely popular “What’s New at Microsoft Seminar”, Gary Duffield, Chief Learning Architect will guide you through the eighteen versions of Windows Server 2008. Helping organisations understand what is available and which version might be right for them.

Windows Server 2008 has improvements in four key areas, Web, virtualisation, security and the Core Foundation.
