Windows Server 2012...*blink blink*

*Raises his head from the smoldering ashes of November*

"Where am I?"

Wow...Last week flew by in a torrent of post Thanksgiving madness, and December is starting to show the same kind of horse kick.  So, I need to get back on the horse here and let you folks know I've not forgotten you. :)

First off this month...how to plan for and deploy Windows Server 2012...the operating system built for the cloud...courtesy of my friends at TechNet.

This website here breaks it down...and gives you access to documentation on the hows and whys you should upgrade to Server 2012.  Granted it's Microsoft's article and their opinion...so let me share with you someone else's opinion of Server 2012.  This great article on Techrepublic back in August sort of tells the story...with some compelling reasons to get Server 2012.  Here are some examples from there...

Dynamic Access Control - a sort of baked in centralized security setup.

Hyper-V Replica - This will be something for Small/Medium businesses who really can't deploy a replication solution.

DirectAccess becomes kickass! - Now DA will actually work with IPv4 and can be virtualized.

 

There's a start at least.  I"m out a little early today...but I'll be back to update the deals page tomorrow with some HO HO HO! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from your Dragontech Team! :)

I know we've not written a lot over the past couple weeks.  Holiday months like this are killer in our line of business, so we've had to lay off here to make sure to meet our job requirements.  Cyber Monday is coming...and a good time to put in all those requests you've got piling up. :)

If you do have any needs, we're here until 5pm today!  Lastly, if we don't speak to you before Thanksgiving, please take care, be safe, and enjoy your time with family & friends.

Best Wishes!

Happy Early Thanksgiving!

Howdy everyone!  Since I'm going to be out of the office most of today, and on holiday through the end of the week, I wanted to post this up now.  We here at the PC Mall DragonTech blog would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, and a wonderful time with family and friends, at the start of this Holiday Season.

Two things...one tech, and the other not...

1) PC Mall has worked out a exclusive EARLY Black Friday deals on the new Macbook Air units that you might be interested in.  One at $799, one at $899, and one at $1149.  Take advantage!  (There are more, give your rep here a call!)

2) If you haven't considered it yet for this holiday season, please donate food to your local food bank.  There are so many here in the US who aren't able to have a family meal like most of us can at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other holidays...but every can/dollar counts.  You can contact the Los Angeles Food Bank if you're down in SoCal, or go here to find a food bank through Feeding America.


There you have it...have a great rest of your week...and possibly look for a post or two when I or my compatriots are not in Food Coma. :)

(for those of you who liked the Halloween jibjab, here's one for Thanksgiving that's a little racy.  you've been warned.)
