Are you getting ready to deploy Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista SP1 and Microsoft Virtualization technologies? Check out the brand new Solution Accelerators Microsoft is releasing this week!
Microsoft is launching three Solution Accelerators that will help IT professionals and Microsoft Partners more quickly assess, plan, secure, deploy and manage (operate) Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista SP1 and Microsoft Virtualization.
In the form of automation tools and technical guidance, these accelerators are developed with industry best practice in mind and can speed up every stage of your IT project lifecycle from server and desktop deployments projects to virtualization.
What’s Released This Week?
There are 3 solution accelerators released this week and another 1 in mid-March.
