Litt om  lisensnøkler – MAK og KMS

Hver fjerde it-sjef i Norge prioriterer virtualisering i 2009. Gartner spår en vekst i salg av virtualiserings-software på 43 prosent i samme tidsrom. Det er mange tilbydere der ute, og mulighetene er overveldende. På dette lynkurset deler våre fagspesialister Madjid Saeedi og Lars Jostein Silihagen sine erfaringer med virtualisering av servere og drift og overvåkning av virtuell infrastruktur. De lærer deg hvordan du velger riktig tilbyder og hvilke muligheter de ulike teknologien gir deg. Viktig for deg som skal investere!

Lynkurset vil bli holdt i Sterias lokaler tirsdag 25 august, meld deg på her: http://www.steria.no/gloria/id/11004464/subid/0
