Hands On With EC2 and Microsoft Windows Server

Posted on by

Get Some Free Hands-on with EC2 and Server 2012

This video provides some very good information on how to work with Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) service.  It does have a good bit of Amazon propaganda at the beginning, but there is value for those who are unfamiliar with the platform.  You’ll learn about much of the EC2 functionality provided for Windows based products.  There are three videos in the series.  The first gives you an overview of the EC2 service.  The second provides a demo of provisioning a Windows Server using the EC2 platform.  Then the final video offers the viewer the opportunity to get some hands-on with EC2 by deploying a  Windows Server within Amazon Web Services (AWS).  The series is really not for beginners, but with some research a novice techie could perform the hands-on lab.  The video in this post is the second in the series.  To gain access to the lab, you’ll need to check the Amazon events site to see when the next training will be held.

You’ll be able to register for the next scheduled hands-on with EC2 lab from this page.  If you have any question feel free to contact us!

Office 365 And SharePoint Online Selected For Booz Allen Hamilton Company Intranet

I was really surprised when watching this video.  Booz never came across to me as a people focused kind of company.  However, you’ll see how Office 365 and SharePoint Online have helped them to increase productivity within the company’s work style.  Many employees are remote and need to be able to access company resources quickly and seamlessly.  Using the Office 365 and SharePoint platform has enable them to do just that.  The document co-authoring features have been one of the biggest benefits of moving to Office 365.  With so many of their workforce being at client sites or working from home, being able to collaborate on documents was absolutely crucial.  Check out the Microsoft case study link at the bottom of the page after you watch the video.  Let us know what you think about how Booz Allen Hamilton implemented Office 365.
