John Weston, Cloud IT Pro Evangelist for Microsoft, to speak at Share Cloud Dallas

Feb. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- John's Sessions:

PRI 102 - System Center 2012 - Microsoft's Private Cloud

Microsoft's Private Cloud starts with Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, add to that System Center 2012 and you have a fully automated, highly virtualized Data Center. John will demo System Center 2012 to show you the power or having your own Private Cloud.


PRE 104 - Preparing for the Hybrid Cloud

Public Cloud has too many security concerns for some. Small companies may be too small for the Private Cloud. Hybrid Cloud takes the best advantage of the Cloud, but still gives you control. How do you prepare? What can your IT Shop do today? It starts with server virtualization, but that's not all. How do you decide what to put into the Cloud, what to keep legacy in-house? Security is critical to all of your decisions.


About John Weston

Some may call John a geek. He prefers the term “technologist.” Truth is, John began working with computers before PCs even hit the scene – and he’s probably got a dusty prototype stashed somewhere to prove it. He’s a fourth generation educator who loves to help people learn new technologies and relishes that magic moment when the light comes on in their eyes. Before joining Microsoft full time, he spent six years as an MCT, training people at a local college and getting new Microsoft hires up to speed. John holds more certifications than he can remember, but the list definitely includes MCITP, MCSE, MCDBA, MCT, and CCNA. His favorite technology is Unified Communications, LYNC and he gets a special thrill from solving customers’ problems. For John, there’s nothing like coaxing people from panic to joy when a server goes down and he can help get the business back up on line. When he’s not working, John can usually be found sailing around Texas with his kids. John blogs at: http://johnweston.ulitzer.com.
