Duration: 1 hour Description:
Are your old Windows servers holding you back from providing the kinds of user experiences your district is demanding?
The tech leaders in River Dell Regional School District were in that exact position. Nearing the end of life of their WS2003 servers, they had serious compatibility issues between hardware and software that resulted in server downtime and the need to reboot almost daily.
They knew two things – they were nearing the end of support from Microsoft and they needed to virtualize as much of their infrastructure as possible.
Join us to hear how they handled their migration away from WS2003 and moved to freshly built virtual machines with a newer OS.
