by amy

Third Tier’s Steve Banks will be speaking at MVP Nation. He will be sharing his knowledge in two sessions.

In How To Start A Thriving User Group, Steve and others will share their experience in building thriving local communities of like minded IT Professionals. Steve is sharing the stage with a dynamic bunch of guys that are running some of the most successful groups in the USA and Australia.

In Hydra Monster, Steve Banks and Dean Paron (Microsoft Product Manager for Windows MultiPoint Server) will present this new server product. It’s in the wild now and being used mostly for educational purposes, but Steve has pioneered this product in the small business space. Come learn about this little known Microsoft server from two long time SBS guys.

IPv6 is Here! Learn all about it: Third Tier welcomes Tom Shinder’s IPv6 Course

by Third Tier

2011 is the year of IPv6! With the last IPv4 address allocations made in January of this year, the future of TCP/IP networking is IPv6. Over the next five years you’ll find the major carriers rolling out support for native IPv6 networks and providing IPv6 allocations to their customers. In the past there wasn’t much to motivate you to learn IPv6, since nobody was using it other than bleeding-edge implementers and techno-geeks. Those days are gone and the time has come to bring IPv6 into the mainstream. To help you get started on your IPv6 trek – Tom Shinder is offering a 32-week IPv6 course to all members of the Microsoft community. Don’t let the 32-week thing intimidate you. The course will be a couple of hours, every two weeks.

Third Tier is please to be part of the community effort to provide education to IT Professionals on IPv6. Tom Shinder will present a year long course (delivered in bite sized pieces) designed to train IT Professionals on understanding and using IPv6. As part of the community effort, Third Tier will provide the webinar location, TechNet wiki, TechNet Forums and Edge Man blogs will provide continuing education and an opportunity to contribute to the conversation after the webinar sessions. Third Tier will also record the live sessions for later viewing.

This course, slated to being in April 2011, will focus on IPv6 fundamentals for those entirely new to IPv6. The focus will be on the Microsoft implementation of IPv6 and we will use Joe Davies’ award winning book Understanding IPv6, Second Edition as our textbook. The only prerequisites are that you have a basic understanding of IPv4 (you don’t need to be a networking guru), that you purchase the book and you want to get a head start on understanding IPv6 so that you’ll be prepared for the inevitable adoption and deployment of IPv6 on both home and corporate networks. The course will be delivered online and will be archived for later viewing. This is a community effort and we’ll adopt a number of community accessible tools (such as the TechNet wiki and TechNet forums and the Edge Man blog among others) to create a highly interactive and valuable learning experience. More details will be available in March 2011.

Let me introduce you to Tom Shinder, Principal Knowledge Engineer, DAIP iX. Anywhere Access Team

Registration Filling Fast for the Pre-Day Event!

by Third Tier

We’re down to just a few seats left for our SMB Nation Pre-day Technical Event in Las Vegas. The full agenda has been posted for the event over on the Registration Page, and we know of at least three people who will be completing their registration before the end of the week this week. That will leave fewer than 10 seats available for this event, and we cannot add any more! Registration will close as soon as we hit the cap, so don’t be left on the other side of that door. If you’ll be in Vegas for SMB Nation, why not stop in a day early and spend it with us!

We’d especially like to thank our corporate sponsors, HP, Symform, and StorageCraft for their assistance in making this event possible!

Training Content MythBusters: Hyper-V Things Not to Try…EVER!

by amy

Wayne Small, SBS, Hyper-V, Trend, Storagecraft and all-around SBS-FAQ guy says…

Hyper-V is the best solution for SMB clients wanting to have their servers virtualised. However there are a lot of myths about how to configure it and how not to configure it. Come to this session to learn about not only the basics of good Hyper-V configuration, but how to get the best performance out of your Hyper-V solutions for your clients. We’ll bust myths such as “Is RAID 10 really better than RAID 5?” and “What’s the best way to configure my CPUs in Hyper-V”.

If you attended Wayne’s Third Tier webinar on Hyper-V you’ll have a leg up because his content here will build and expand upon that webinar.

Join Third Tier in Las Vegas for an all day training on the day prior to SMBNation. See other content details elsewhere in our blog. Thanks to our sponsors, Hewlett Packard, Symform and Storagecraft we are able to keep the cost down to only $50. So head on over to the store and reserve your space for this all-day training session! Seats are limited for this event and we expect to sell out. So register early. http://www.thirdtier.net/store Training takes place October 21st.
