Easier User Data Management with User Profile Disks in Windows Server 2012
In an earlier post, we described the different options for profile management in Windows Server 2008 R2. For Windows Server 2012, we wanted to find a simpler way to manage user data—compared to using roaming profiles, UE-V, or folder redirection. (Of course, these technologies can be used together fruitfully. For more information, see User State Virtualization.)

Convert to Hyper-V or vSphere?
A question that seems to be on the minds of many, today, is the question of whether to convert to Microsoft's Hyper-V or VMware's vSphere. The first thing I hear after that is a price comparison, followed by an argument in favor of one or the other. My answer, as usual, is, "It depends." IT should not be looking at everything from a cost perspective all the time -- it's not the sole function of IT. I understand that the great recession molded us in a way where all we think about is cost savings.

VMware, the bell tolls for thee, and Microsoft is ringing it
VMworld is about a month behind us now and I’ve had a little more time to noodle on the joint survey I did with virtualization management vendor Xangati. There was a tremendous amount of energy at VMworld and the show floor was one of the biggest and busiest I’ve seen in a long time. This might give one the impression that the VMware franchise is impenetrable, but the survey shows differently.

UEB NFR and Server 2012
I’ve now downloaded and installed/deployed Windows Server 2012 VHD, Windows Server 2012 ISO and Hyper-V Server 2012 ISO. I’ve got to say, it’s pretty wicked simple, and I love the fact that WS 2012 is available as a VHD. We’re deploying both in our corporate demo environemt, and of course we’ve been running the release candidates and Beta’s in our R&D labs for several weeks.

ReFS: The Next Generation File System (Part 1)
Windows 2012 is an operating system that is built for the cloud. A key characteristic of the cloud is seamless scalability. Hyper-V 2012 is certainly is a big feature of the Windows Server 2012 portfolio that is going to enable cloud deployment. But to fuel and sustain the scale of the cloud, the storage that enables this growth also needs to scale seamlessly. Windows 2012 (and even the client operating system Windows 8) tout the release of a new file system called ReFS (Resilient File System) that not only scales, but also provides the needed robustness even if the underlying infrastructure like power were to fail.
