MS Ignite 2024 Recap

Leave a comment

On my way home from a very inspiring Microsoft Ignite, which I was able to attend in person for the first time. Microsoft Ignite 2024 took place in Chicago at McCormick Place, a very large convention center near Lake Michigan.

The conference started on Monday with a Preday, where Microsoft Ignite attendees had the opportunity to attend various workshops after registering. I took the opportunity to get to the venue, get my badge and meet some people from the community. In the evening, Microsoft had organized an MVP Meet and Greet where MVPs had the opportunity to meet other MVPs who were also attending Ignite. It was a great evening and I saw many people from all over the world again.

Bye Bye Windows Server 2008R2 It was a good time – Get Extended Support and think about a change

Leave a comment

Today Windows Server 2008 (R2) / Windows 7 reaches her End of Live (14.01.20) date and doesn`t receive Security updates anymore.

I think it was a great time with Windows Server 2008. WS2008 launched Hyper-V, one of the most powerful hypervisor on the market and the foundation of today’s Azure infrastructure. With WS2008, the first version of the Server Manager, the pre-release version of Windows Admin Center, was released.

In this article, I will list some of your options to get extended support for available Windows Server 2008 (R2) – but I prefer to discuss new solutions to replace the outdated infrastructure. Use this date to consider a change to move your infrastructure to the same flexible and scalable environment you had when Windows Server 2008 was introduced.

I know the time is to short to demote the existing Windows Server 2008 R2 and migrate the workloads to a newer operating system. But now it’s time to modernize your landscape. See which solutions Microsoft offer to extend the time or to renew the infrastructure.

Gestern Vormittag durfte ich zum ersten Mal auf der Cloud and Datacenter Conference (CDC-Germany) in Hanau eine Session halten. Die CDC ist eine der wenigen Konferenzen in Deutschland, die den Fokus auf On-Prem und Hybrid Cloud Szenarien legt und dadurch viele Kunden erreicht. Carsten und seine Frau haben eine tolle Konferenz gegründet, die jedes Jahr mehr Teilnehmer zählt. Dies liegt auch an den vielen hochkarätigen Sprechern, die Carsten für die Konferenz gewinnt.
