Good day to you,

First I want to say many thanks to Mr. Hamlett for coming out and spending the evening with us to take an in-depth look at the Microsoft world of Virtualization. Thank you sir.

I also wanted to say thank you to those who came out to the meeting as
well.

I wanted to send a follow up of our meeting last week and share two presentations that were offered. It was an awesome session and Mr. Hamlett gave us a good look at the Microsoft virtualization/Hypervisor setup, config, security infrastructure and why this is becoming a major adoption for many organizations.

Mr. Hamlett also linked up with Steve Riley who is a world renowned security guru at Microsoft and we had the opportunity to have him on the phone to talk more about any questions or issues we may have in understanding securing Virtualization. The timing was a bit off as he was travelling and the planned time of his availability was thrown off and so we’re going to schedule a conference call with him do any questions/concerns/issues will be addressed for you.

I will be posting a thank you on his blog here http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/ and i’m asking for a few comments of thanks from the group as well. I want him to realize that we apprecilove his time and effort to work with us and to be a resource for us if/when needed. Please take a minute to say thank you from TITSSN.

Here is the video of his TechEd presentation on virtualization and security http://titssn.net/events-archive/Jan-2009-Virtualization/. I decided to share this with everyone as it is a major topic of interest across the board. I am sure you’ll see and learn a lot of interesting things from it. We had an awesome discussion around the presentation that Mr. Hamlett did an awesome job of sharing some insight, recommendations and guidelines on. The Virtualization_SCVMM PPT is one that Mr. Hamlett presented at another location and he decided the content was appropriate to share with us as well.

We will have a follow up hands-on workshop where we’ll be building out a virtualization infrastructure from the ground up so please stay tuned for that update. I’m working on that for our February training and development workshop so as you can see, were putting a lot of quick time and attention to this. This year we’re focusing very heavily on this area of technology and you’ll be seeing a lot more on it.

So, please remember to say a little thank you to Mr. Riley ok.

Thank you very much and have a great day. We apprecilove your business and support and look forward to serving you more.
