Give It a Kick: Lessons Learned from TFS 2012 Lab and SCVMM 2012

Black Marble recently migrated their TFS2010 Lab to TFS 2012 and thought it would be a good idea to move to a single SCVMM 2012 instance to manage both lab and production Hyper-V whilst also moving to SQL 2012 Always On and Server 2012 across the board. Find out just how much fun that was as Rik discusses the process.

Rik is the IT Director of Black Marble, a Microsoft Gold Partner based in the North of England. Black Marble specialises in Biztalk and SharePoint-based business automation. In addition to making sure Black Marble's own systems deliver, Rik leads the IT side of Black Marble's SharePoint practice. Rik has been delivering SharePoint solutions since Black Marble’s involvement in the beta of SharePoint 2007 and presents regularly for Black Marble and their partners on this and other topics.

Location

The event will be hosted in Room 1.02 of Claremont Tower at Newcastle University. For a detailed campus map - http://www.ncl.ac.uk/documents/Campus-Map-Print.pdf
