EVENTS / WEBCASTS: November 2007
Momentum Webcast: Protecting Your HP Storage and Microsoft Exchange Server Solution from Disasters (Level 200)
Natural and man-made disasters can occur when you least expect them—serving as a reminder that in less than a moment’s notice, volumes of data can be lost. To prevent data loss from failure, error, or disaster, Microsoft and HP offer several complementary software solutions that can help protect your small to mid-sized business from the unexpected. In this webcast, we discuss Microsoft local continuous replication (LCR), cluster continuous replication (CCR), standby continuous replication (SCR), and Hewlett-Packard (HP) storage mirroring. We explore each product, explain why each is important, and describe how each might fit in your data protection strategy. We also discuss which utility is most appropriate for your environment. Data protection is a key business requirement that grows as your reliance on data grows. Join us to learn how these Microsoft and HP utilities can be coupled with HP StorageWorks tape backup and snapshot technology for small and medium business (SMB) solutions that rival enterprise requirements, but at a much better price for your business.

Monday, November 12, 2007: TechNet Webcast: Exchange Server 2007 Deployment and Migration Strategies (Level 200)
In this session, we talk about installation and deployment of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. We start with a look at various deployment scenarios. Then, as Exchange Server supports role-based deployments, we take a look at server roles. We run through detailed pre-installation requirements in terms of the supporting infrastructure, software, hardware, and security. Next, after outlining the installation process, we provide a few demonstrations. Finally, we look at how to automate server deployments using the unattended setup commands and Windows PowerShell scripts to provision servers following deployment.
