Penton Technology's Windows IT Pro Offers Master-Level Hyper-V Training from Renowned Author and Instructor John Savill


NEW YORK, March 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're a working IT professional looking to expand your expertise in Microsoft technologies in general and Hyper-V in particular, Penton Technology has just the training for you.

On four consecutive Thursdays starting April 16, author and Microsoft technology expert John Savill will conduct a Hyper-V Master Class training course that's not to be missed.

Enroll before April 9 and save $160 on the $795 entry fee. Reserve your space by April 6th and you'll be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of five signed copies of John's book Mastering Hyper-V 2012 R2 with System Center and Azure!, considered by many to be the bible of Hyper-V.

This exclusive, prestige event gives attendees 12 hours of content over 4 days – April 16, April 23, April 30 and May 7 – gaining direct knowledge transfer from Savill, the trainer of the trainers.

"Pretty much every organization has adopted virtualization as the standard for OS deployments," says Savill. "Hyper-V is now in its fourth major version in Windows Server 2012 R2 and provides industry leading scalability and functionality in addition to forming the foundation of massive public cloud services such as Microsoft Azure. Hyper-V is a role within Windows Server, which is hugely beneficial for organizations as it means it's managed and maintained in a consistent manner with the rest of the Windows infrastructure."

Savill's master-level online training course will explore all the key aspects of a Hyper-V based virtualization environment covering both current capabilities in Windows Server 2012 R2 and looking at the future with Windows Server vNext.

"I try and start from the basics and build on an ever growing foundation to help even complex technologies make sense by explaining how they work rather than just how to use them," says Savill. "I'm a huge believer in understanding how things work as I think if you know how something works you can work out all the different ways to use it. In this class I walk through all the ey Hyper-V concepts enabling attendees to architect and manage a complete Hyper-V based environment by the end of the course."



Is Hyper-V difficult to understand and master?

Not really, says Savill.


"If I say it's too easy no one will attend the class but the reality is that is easy to get up and running with Hyper-V," he says. "However, when you start getting into more advanced concepts such as networking and integration with System Center Virtual Machine Manager it's really not intuitive and gets confusing quickly. It's also partly because of its apparent ease of use that you can quickly find you are deploying solutions in a non-optimal way and with some knowledge you can design and deploy to provide a far more efficient and resilient solution."

At the conclusion of the course, attendees will know how to:

  • Architect a Hyper-V based virtualization solution
  • Utilize technologies to create the most highly available Hyper-V environment using clustering and other replication technologies
  • Understand the tasks to migrate from physical and other virtualization environments
  • Implement a private cloud solution

So sign up before April 9 and save $160 on this one-of-a-kind Master Class training. And be sure to reserve your space before April 6 and be entered for a chance to win one of five signed copies of Savill's book.
