This weekend PubForum was in Dublin. PubForum is low cost conference that tours Europe and has been educating people on the various virtualisation technologies that are out there. These folks were talking about machine and application virtualisation while the rest of us were still getting to grips with Terminal Services.
Yesterday I spoke there about Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V and Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. It was the first time I was able to talk about a few new things such as the new Hyper-V scalabilities announced at TechEd North America 2009 and some of the new features in VMM such as Storage Quick Migration. I also brought up some of the future technologies such as server role virtualisation as seen in an MMS 2009 demo video.
This is normally a very pro VMware and pro Citrix audience. The reactions to the above were pretty excellent. People really were impressed by what MS is up to.
Here’s my presentation:
