Featured Web Seminar: Archiving Best Practices Preserve Quick Access to
Data

Compliance is a hot topic in the IT world, but it's a broad topic, too.
Focusing on individual parts of the compliance elephant can be a good
way to start. Archiving email is often desirable or necessary, even for
companies that don't have explicit compliance requirements. In this Web
seminar, Paul Robichaux describes how archiving strategies can help your
business work more effectively and keep IT operating costs under
control while preserving quick access to needed data.

How to Implement SDI Using IPSec in a Mixed Environment

by John Howie

To defend against malware outbreaks, many enterprises implement Server
and Domain Isolation (SDI) using IPsec
(http://ct.email.windowsitpro.com/rd/cts?d=33-21105-803-202-62923-2224873-0-0-0-1-2-207) to limit access to
their key Microsoft Windows servers and networks. However, some
enterprises maintain a heterogeneous environment of Microsoft Windows,
UNIX, and Linux systems. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to extend
SDI to FreeBSD, Linux, and Sun's Solaris 10 by using IPsec with
preshared keys as the authentication method. Click here

Clustering in a Virtual World: A free web seminar by John Savill

On January 27, John Savill, author of the Tips & Tricks UPDATE, will
present a free web seminar on high availability options in a virtualized
world
(http://ct.email.windowsitpro.com/rd/cts?d=33-21105-803-202-62923-2224879-0-0-0-1-2-207.
John will look at the difference between planned and unplanned failovers
and the technologies available to minimize downtime during failovers. He
will also examine when to use physical or virtual clustering and show
you the best practices to apply.

You'll learn to identify the best high availability design for different
scenarios. You'll see how to use failover clustering within the virtual
machines to take advantage of cluster-aware services such as Exchange
and SQL Server running inside the VMs. You'll also see how you can use a
combination of virtual and physical machines in a single cluster and
learn about the gotchas that you should avoid.
