    VS and VPC in the News
    Virtual-Server Face-Off

    The year 2004 might very well become known as the year of virtualization. Initially, IT pros recognized the value of virtualization technologies in test and demo environments. However, with the advent of ever more powerful systems coupled with continued improvements in virtual machine (VM) technologies, virtualization has since become a production-level technology that enables server consolidation.

VS and VPC at TechEd

TechEd is rapidly approaching and over the last couple of days the session titles and abstracts on the TechEd web site have been updated. I am presenting a session at TechEd this year; MGT365: Consolidating and Migrating LOB Applications Using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 and here is the abstract for this session:
This session provides guidance for consolidating and migrating LOB applications to Virtual Server 2005-based virtual machines. It provides technical information and recommendations, processes, build notes, job aids, test scripts, and documented test validation of the processes. This session is based on the Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Consolidating and Migrating LOB Applications.
I'm really excited to have been chosen to present a session this year as I know that the competition for sessions was pretty fierce. From what I hear, the TechEd team was swamped with session proposals as this was the first year (to the best of my knowledge) that an open call for session proposals had been made.
In addition to my session, there are a number of additional sessions and hands-on-labs that cover various VS and VPC topics:

There maybe some more VS/VPC sessions, kind of hard to tell for sure as I don't think the keyword search feature on the TechEd web site seems to be working all that well.
In addition to the session I'm presenting, I'll be at the cabana sessions as well, so if you want to talk about VS or VPC, look for me at the cabanas.

Really looking forward to this session. We use VS a lot for troubleshooting, and I personally (as a MCT) use VPC for training. I like to hear how people are using VS in the "real world".
