In this blog post I’d like to focus on various services and solutions regarding WVD as well as ‘plain’ RDS, on-premises, within Azure, and a combination of the two. In short, we’ll look at: On-prem and Azure RDS -> Disaster Recovery & Migrating On-prem RDS to Azure RDS -> Migrate Azure RDS to WVD
Continue reading Combine WVD, IaaS RDS, on-prem RDS to scale, protect & migrateIf you are interested in getting started with Cloud technologies, or perhaps you’ve been working with, let’s say Azure for a while but you haven’t done any certifications yet, have a look at these free foundation courses. I’ve included URL’s to the free (official) training materials, an additional training resource, which is pretty extensive, and all three Exam codes to with it, so you can start planning your exam as soon as you feel you’re ready to go.
Continue reading Cloud Foundation – Boot Camp. Three (almost) free Cloud certificationsWhile setting up a Proof of Concept is a great way to evaluate software solutions it can also be very time and resource consuming. Getting the budget is one thing, finding the time, and (right) people for the job is another. Let alone some of the more technical challenges that you’ll have to face and figure out. At the very least, even if the product(s) is/are simple to use you’ll still need to go through the basic installation and configuration steps, go over some of the FAQ’s, and so on before being able to get some testing done – it’s a fact of IT life as we know it. Right? Well, not any more.

So, here you go. My personal cheat sheet concept and layout combined with a ton of information on the latest developments around Microsoft’s most recent Cloud workspace initiative – the Windows Virtual Desktop. Don’t use the image, there’s a downloadable PDF available as well – just click the download button below.
Continue reading The Windows Virtual Desktop Technology Cheat Sheet v1.0Last week (April the 11th) I was invited to speak at the Avensus MCS (Managed Cloud Services) networking and technology event. Below you’ll find my slide-deck. Even-though the slides are in Dutch I’m pretty sure you’ll ‘get’ the main point, except for some of the statistics perhaps. If you have any questions, please do let me know.
Continue reading My presentation slide-deck on the Windows Virtual DesktopA lot of companies offer free support while you evaluate their software. The idea behind this is simple. If you don’t know how the product works, how to implement or configure it etc, there is a good chance you’ll eventually quit because it might seem overly complex, and you can’t get it to work (properly). This, while in fact it’s you doing it wrong, not reading the FAQ’s, being impatient (sounds familiar?), and so on. By providing (free) support companies hope to prevent this from happening and to get you to purchase the product, or at least to evaluate further.
Continue reading When trying out the Windows Virtual Desktop (today), keep the following in mindTHANK YOU – that’s probably the best, or only way to start this blog. We (= myself and Christiaan Brinkhoff) started the Byte-Sized book project back in January and we never expected this amount of attention and help from the community (of course, we hoped for it).
