12/6/2011 12:15 PM -to- 1:15 PM Minimizing Management: Cost Shrinking Through Server Virtualization
Mel Beckman
Labor is one of the largest cost components in any data center operation, and one that is becoming increasingly expensive per full-time equivalent staffer. You can drastically reduce labor expense by exploiting the many management accelerators available in the virtualized data center. Provisioning, monitoring, preemptive remediation, and resource administration are all processes that server virtualization can optimize, letting one person do the work of 10 or 20. In this presentation, virtualization expert Mel Beckman shows you the ways to make virtualization pay.

12/6/2011 12:15 PM -to- 1:15 PM What's New in Exchange 2010?
Paul Robichaux
Exchange 2010 has been on the market now for nearly two years. In that time, most Exchange administrators have become familiar with the broad outlines of its new features. But funny things happened as Exchange 2010 has become more widely adopted: the features administrators are most excited about, and are getting the most use from, aren't necessarily the best-known or best-marketed ones. In this seminar, we'll touch on some compelling new features that you might not have thought about in that light, including the various federation tools included in Exchange 2010, self-service improvements that lower your workload while keeping your users happier, and the forthcoming improvements in Exchange 2010 service pack 2.

12/6/2011 12:15 PM -to- 1:15 PM Minimizando Administración: Disminución de Costos usando Virtualización de Servidores
Gonzalo  Balladares
Uno de los componentes más importantes del costo de operación de un Data Center son las Horas-Hombre, y últimamente su importancia a aumento debido a la necesidad de Staff de TI especializado. Puedes disminuir drasticamente este costo de operación al hacer uso de la gran cantidad de aceleradores de administración disponibles en un datacenter virtualizado. Aprovisionamiento, Monitoreo, remediación preventiva y administración de recursos son procesos que la virtualización de servidores puede optimizar y automatizar permitiendo que una sola persona pueda realizar el trabajo de 10 o 20. En esta presentación Gonzalo Balladares R. te mostrará las formas de obtener el real beneficio de la virtualización.

Jorge Patricio Diaz Guzman
É uma certeza que os usuários nunca pedem menos, eles sempre querem mais! Mais rendimento, mais funcionalidades, e muito mais espaço nas suas caixas de correio. Microsoft cumpriu seu desejo criando o Exchange 2010, onde podem implantar caixas de correio muito maiores por um preço razoável. Como você pode conseguir isso? Isto nós vamos falar neste seminário. Aprenda como fazer crescer seus servidores de Exchange e seu armazenamento, para deixar, de forma eficiente e de pouco custo, que seus usuários que precisam de caixas enormes estejam muito felizes (por enquanto).

12/6/2011 1:30 PM -to- 2:30 PM Locking Down Virtual Infrastructure
Mel Beckman
Although virtualization improves some server security aspects by isolating workloads from each other, it creates a bevy of new security issues that data center managers must consciously address. Low-level risks, such as BIOS compromise, hypervisor intrusion, and the so-called “blue pill” processor-level attack, are one class of problem, but there are others involving virtualized data center infrastructure, management platform compromise, and human corruption. Information security expert Mel Beckman explains how to mitigate the risks of server virtualization without compromising its utility.
Room 1
12/6/2011 1:30 PM -to- 2:30 PM Mailboxes: Now in Giant Economy Size!
Paul Robichaux
It's a truism among e-mail administrators that users never ask for less; they always want more: more performance, more functionality, and much, much more room in their mailboxes. Microsoft has played into this desire by designing Exchange 2010 so that you can effectively deploy much larger mailboxes at a reasonable cost…or so they say. How exactly do you do that? That's what we'll talk about in this seminar. Learn how to scale your exchange servers, and their storage, to efficiently and inexpensively give your users large enough mailboxes keep them happy (at least for now.)
