Managing iCal Calendar Sharing with Exchange 2010 SP1 [Updated]

Understanding how Microsoft Virtualization compares to VMware

Today, at Teched North America in New Orleans, I attended a breakout session where Microsoft compared their Virtualization to VMware. Jason Fulencheck, from Microsoft, quoted a late 2009 Gartner survey where they polled CIO’s and IT managers about server virtualization. The results were very interesting: 40% of the participants responded that they would adopt a multi-vendor strategy for their server virtualization. Two out of three of these people would likely adopt Microsoft & VMware as vendors.

Why Microsoft?

Virtual Networking for Hyper-V (Part 1)

Brien M Posey: Understanding Hyper-V’s inner workings is the key to achieving good server performance and resiliency. This article series explains how virtual networking works in a Hyper-V environment and how you can configure the virtual network in a way that helps you to achieve your networking goals.

One of the main reasons why many organizations initially choose to begin virtualizing their data centers is to reduce hardware costs by using more of the existing server hardware’s total capacity. While making better use of underutilized server hardware sounds appealing, I have seen several organizations that have pushed their servers too far and ended up with a variety of performance problems as a result. Obviously, there is a fine line between using more of your server’s capabilities, and over stressing your server hardware. Often times this difference boils down to understanding how the server’s configuration affects performance.
