Hi folks, I would like to share with you guys a really nice summary about Cloud Computing using Microsoft Technologies. Enjoy it! Public Cloud computing means that the infrastructure to run and manage the applications users are taking advantage of is run by someone else and not you. In other words, you do not buy the hardware or software to run your email or other services being used in your organization – that is done by someone else. Users simply connect to these services from their computers and you pay a monthly subscription fee for each user that is taking … Continue reading Getting started with Cloud Computing

The DPM Team blogged about Exchange Server 2010 DAG protection and DPM where nodes can be protected by different DPM Servers. I like to draw attention to something that may not be well known and surprise some. You probably are familiar with the ‘rule’ that all protected hosts within a cluster must be protected by the same DPM server! This is does not apply to Exchange 2010 and is formally documented here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399324.aspx . You still get the warning that all nodes must have a DPM agent installed but can be safely ignored for Exchange 2010. In that context you … Continue reading Exchange 2010 clusters can be protected by multiple DPM servers
