Subject: NYExUG - April Meeting Announcement - Cloud Proofing your job
position
Hello All,
Our April meeting is around the corner. Presentation will be a
how-to protect and defend against the marketing juggernaut of the "cloud"
(cloud proof your job). Things have changed, so do not be too concerned
about the cloud being a threat. There is a silverlining to this presentation
by Ben Serebin (REEF Solutions).
For those who attended the Techstravaganza conference, the slides
are up in this posting on Bob
<http://blogs.technet.com/ b/bobh/archive/ 2011/03/28/ techstravaganza- event-sl
ides-available-here.aspx> Hunts blog, so check them out. They are very rich
with technical content (e.g. HA deck has 61 pages of goodness in it). We had
some amazing Exchange speakers presenting (I think better than all the other
tracks), so I strongly recommend reviewing them even if you didn't attend.
We'll be discussing some of the knowledge at upcoming meetings since many of
you did not attend.
This Month's NYExUG Meeting RSVP deadline by Mon 4pm EST (free - includes
pizza dinner & raffles)

This Month's Meeting Topic

changed. So, the tide is turning on what the cloud is, how you interact with
it, cost effectiveness of it, and much more. Come to the meeting and learn
more. CCOs (Chief Cloud Officers) are not permitted to attend.
