TechNet Webcast: Optimized and Dynamic Branch Offices with Virtualized Branch Office Servers (Level 200)  

In this session, we meet up again with Fabrikam as the company begins to deploy a virtual infrastructure. Both Fabrikam and Contoso have expanded over the years, adding new servers to offer services. Unlike Contoso, which is centrally based and so easier to manage, Fabrikam's infrastructure has grown in its branch offices. This poses a major challenge to both management and security. Join this webcast as we look at how Fabrikam reclaimed control of their remote offices, reducing the number of servers, and decreasing management costs and security risks while maintaining a high level of service. Learn about what you should consider before, during, and after a server consolidation in a branch office, and the role virtualization can play in this scenario. We provide a comprehensive view of how and where virtualization fits in a branch office, and how it helps simplify administration and helps you create a dynamic, self-managing branch infrastructure.
