Seminar: Implementing a Private Cloud with Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2
In this seminar we will discuss the new features in Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V and System Center 2012 R2 and how can you use these features to implement a private cloud infrastructure. The seminar covers areas such as configuring Hyper-V failover clusters, configuring virtualization hosts, configuring virtual networks (including the new network virtualization features), configuring storage and automatically provisioning virtual machines and services using templates.
We will also discuss how you can use System Center 2012 R2 App Controller, Operations Manager, Data Protection Manager and Orchestrator to automate processes and provide private cloud services.
The seminar consists in presentations and demos performed by the trainer.
Length: 3 days
