Going, Going, GONE! Third Tier Training is Sold Out!

by amy

We are proud to announce, that the Third Tier Brain Explosion is SOLD OUT. We’re really excited to meet everyone that signed up and make your brains explode.

Because of some happy coincidences I have a couple of announcements.

The cocktail party is back! We’ll be having a welcome reception on Wednesday evening before the big event 6:00-8:30pm. (Yes, that does say FREE BEER.)
Our SMB friendly vendors have bestowed upon us some cool products to give-away to the attendees of the Brain Explosion. (Yes we’re talkin’ product, not swag)
Configuring and Using Remote Desktop Services Remote Apps – A Love Story will be broadcast LIVE! So if you missed getting the hottest ticket in Vegas you can still get a sample of the Brain Explosion.

We will post more information on each of these exciting developments soon. Keep tuned into the blog for the details and we’ll see you in Vegas.

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!

Did you hear the news? It’s all over town…

StorageCraft snares Microsoft expert as technical services manager

"This is a major coup for us," StorageCraft Asia-Pacific vice-president Richard Giddey said. "Wayne brings with him a wealth of diverse knowledge and is a highly respected industry expert who will be instrumental in helping us to accelerate our expansion in the Asia-Pacific market."

Wayne will be presenting at our brain exploding all day training event in Las Vegas. He’s presenting Hyper-V Mythbusters: Don’t Try This…EVER! I have a feeling that along side the his disk and CPU performance studies that there might be a little bit about disaster recovery and back scenarios. You can register at www.thirdtier.net/store.

Third Tier is really proud of Wayne, we know just how lucky Storagecraft is to land him. He’s brings a lot more to the table than technical expertise.

Training Content Details: It’s Only Plug & Play if you Know THESE Ninja Moves

by amy

Cliff Galiher SBS, DNS and Exchange guru says…

The mobile landscape has changed. What was in the office, is now in the hands of your clients. They expect it to work and they expect you to make it secure. Mobile devices communicate with Exchange in their own unique way. We’ll take a deep look at how devices communicate with Exchange and get technical about the protocols. This will cover activesync AND autodiscover at a protocol level. Then we’ll walk through the process of setting up different devices and visually tie the steps back to the theory. So now the mobile device works and you understand why it works, how are you going to secure it? Cliff will cover controls IT can have on activesync devices such as remote encryption and remote wipe, how to use and how to configure it.

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.

Third Tier offering Technical Training at SMBNation PreDay Event!

by amy

I’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

by amy

Dana 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?

by Third Tier

In 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!
