New Windows Server 2012 Courses in the MVA Portal

Over the past few weeks, the Microsoft Virtual Academy portal has replenished with several new free courses on Windows Server 2012 . These courses cover in more detail a number of issues raised in the technical overview of the operating system.

Windows Server 2012: Server Virtualization

• Hyper-V scalability, including a detailed discussion of hypervisor settings on NUMA systems.
• All aspects of dynamic migration (Live Migration), including Storage Migration, migration + SMB, migration security settings.
• Features of importing virtual machines (VMs).

Windows Server 2012: Network Infrastructure

• Expanding the capabilities of some network components and services, namely: DHCP Failover, NIC Teaming, Quality of Service (QoS).
• Architecture, deployment, and operation of IP Address Management (IPAM).
• Perhaps the first more or less detailed description of Network Virtualization technology.

Windows Server 2012: Storage

• Manage disk resources with Storage Spaces.
• Using SMB for Hyper-V and SQL Server.
• All about Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) v2, from architecture to customization and application scenarios.

Until the new year, it is planned to publish several more courses, if something does not violate our plans ... :)
