The benefit of that is that it becomes very easy … Continue reading Build a lab for free on Windows Azure–Migration and Deployment (Part 15 of 19)
http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/inetpub/kevinremde/KROmniture.htmAre you building a highly virtualized datacenter? “Yep.” Are you calling it a private cloud? “Of course.

In fact, it’s … Continue reading Migrating Hyper-V Virtual Machines – Migration and Deployment (Part 10 of 19)
