Virtualization's Impact on Managed Services

In follow up to my posts about moving Evolve to the cloud, I did a piece for Channel Insider I thought came out very well.

CompTIA resources

Can you tell I'm cleaning out my inbox?

CompTIA has announced their "Industry Mentors" Program, where you can get lots of great information about industry experts on a variety of subjects from Marketing to Human Resources to Security to Virtualization. And you might already know the virtualization guy...

It's available from the CompTIA Member Resource Center, and you can find out more at http://www.comptia.org/membership.aspx

Have a great customer you want a case study with Microsoft on?

I have an opportunity for readers out there.

Microsoft recently asked me if I had a SMB case study which was around Business Servers (Windows Server, Foundation Server, SBS & EBS) and Virtualization & Management (System Center Essentials & Virtual Machine Manager).

They're looking specifically for SMB case studies.

Service Desk Operations

Erick Simpson emailed me the link to his new book's pre-order availability, and I had to share it.

Pre-Order MSPU's new book The Best NOC and Service Desk Operations BOOK EVER today!

I own all of Erick's books, and consider them must-reads for doing Managed Services... and I continually allude to managed services being the base that virtualization is built on.

Go buy it.
