Third Tier offering Technical Training at SMBNation PreDay Event!
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been dying to announce this. I’m so excited! We’re doing a pre-day event at SMBNation in Vegas on October 21st. Make your flights accordingly. Very soon we will be posting a registration form. You must register in advance so keep an eye out for it.
Speakers are our own fabulous staff: Dave Shackelford, Cliff Galiher, Eriq Neale and Wayne Small
Our content has been selected by the guys to reflect the growing concern over compliance, business continuity, manageability and issues surrounding these that our customers are contacting us for help with. Case studies and examples will abound and they guys will show you how to configure the products they will be working with which including Exchange, Sharepoint, Terminal Services and Hyper-V. Expect the sessions to be intense with advanced material. Your brain will be exploding by the end of the day.
I’ll be posting more and more specifics about the content as the event gets closer. Let’s have a look at what Eriq is going to cover first:
Configuring and Using Remote Desktop Services Remote Apps – A Love Story
Many people have heard of Remote Desktop Services Remote Apps (formerly Terminal Server Remote Apps) but either haven’t had an opportunity to implement the solution or just are not sure how to. In this session, Eriq Neale will show how to configure RDS Remote Apps on a Remote Desktop Server and then go over several real-world deployment scenarios. We will also go over how to set up RDS Remote Apps to work with Remote Web Workplace on an SBS Server. Eriq will include case studies on when and why this technology is used.
Configuring RDS Remote Apps
Publishing an Application through RDS Remote Apps
Publishing an Application with multiple configuration options through RDS Remote Apps
Publishing an RDS Remote App through Remote Web Workplace
Please make your flights accordingly and plan to join us for a full day of intense training on October 21st.
Shout Out to Hewlett Packard, Symform and Storagecraft. Without awesome vendors that get the small business space and are willing to invest in partner education, this event would not be possible.

How to talk to your clients about security and get it right
Posted by: | CommentsDana Epp is having a pre-day event at SMBNation East on April 29th. Dana’s event is occurring right before the conference that Eriq and Amy are speaking at. http://www.thirdtier.net/2010/02/were-speaking-at-smb-nation-east/ This is going to be a good one. Small crowd. Intimate access to some amazing professionals.
Dana Epp is the premier security expert in the small and medium business space. You are probably aware of his AuthAnvil product which provides two-factor authentication to secure a variety of access needs. But you may not have heard Dana talk about valuing business assets and implementing security protections based upon these calculations. Approaching security in this way, allows an IT pro to approach management with facts that make sense to them. When it makes sense to management, you will get the green light from the business owner and CFO to go ahead with the project while providing them valuable information about their data. This is what being a trusted advisory is all about.
Attendees will learn how to discuss business and technical risk to business owners, how to build an asset catalog, and how to build a consultive trusted advisory process to generate new revenues in response to the application of risk mitigation techniques. This will help attendees to explore and find business opportunity while protecting their clients most critical information assets.
WHEN: April 29th, 2010
TIME: 9:00am to 5:00pm
Hear in Dana’s own words what he’s going to cover at this day long seminar and make your plans to attend now, before it fills up. http://blog.scorpionsoft.com/blog/2010/04/announcing-the-information-assurance-workshop.html
Mac Mini an Alternative to SBS?
Posted by: | CommentsIn a March 31 article at crn.com (http://www.crn.com/software/224200956), ChannelWeb correspondent Kevin McLaughlin posits that Apple’s special configuration of a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server preinstalled could pose a serious threat to sales of Small Business Server. Third Tier’s Eriq Neale was interviewed for the article and offered some insight on the topic. To get a deeper view of Eriq’s take on the premise of the article, come to SMB Nation Spring in East Brunswick and sit in on his session Alternative Solutions in the SMB Space. Even if you saw the session he did at the Fall conference in Las Vegas, this is one you won’t want to miss!
