Advanced Technology Days (ATD) 10 – recap

Another great conference is behind us – Advanced Technology Days 10 (or just ATD 10). Two-day conference, Wednesday and Thursday, about the latest and greatest from Microsoft, just in time for some of the important announcements, and with more than a glimpse into the future of technology – pretty cool. Smile

I’ve had two sessions – on Wednesday, I’ve had a session called Što nam donosi Windows Server vNext (Technical Preview)? (or “What’s new in Windows Server vNext (Technical Preview)?”), where I’ve outlined the major news in this prerelease version of the next Windows Server. There really is a lot to talk about, as Windows Server vNext brings so many news, even in this, somewhat early, stage in development cycle.

The session that I’ve had on Thursday was called Što nam donosi System Center vNext (Technical Preview)? (or “What’s new in System Center vNext (Technical Preview)?”), and there I’ve shown what is there in Technical Preview today with the preview of the new Microsoft Azure Operational Insights, which also entered the “public preview” phase during the conference.

Overall experience was great – once again located in a movie theatre, with lots of great people, networking, combined with a flawless demo experience (plug ’n’ play) and great timing… actually, I can’t wait for Advanced Technology Days vNext! Smile

I’m so happy that I was invited to speak (big thanks to all involved!), and got the opportunity to participate with my view on all the great stuff included in those releases of very important products.

ATD 5 i predavanje @ MIC Varaždin

Prekjučer je u Zagrebu u hotelu Aristos održan peti po redu Advanced Technology Day – još jedna (tradicionalna) Microsoftova konferencija. Velik broj predavanja, premijere, dobra organizacija i sve ostalo što i inače krasi Microsoftove konferencije, bilo je prisutno i ovdje. Mislim da je najbolji opis dao Domagoj Pavlešić na BUG OnLine stranicama.

Jučer smo imali i premijere u MIC-u u Varaždinu – imao sam svoje prvo službeno predavanje/trening na temu virtualizacije, a Marko je imao predavanje/radionicu o Outlooku za Grad Varaždin.

Što se tiče mog treninga, pričao sam o svemu i svačemu vezanom uz virtualizaciju pa se u cijelu priču, između ostalog, uvukao i System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2, ali i, novi, System Center Essentials 2010 koji je za sada u  beta fazi.

Sudeći po anketama, bilo je dobro i jedva čekam nove treninge 🙂
