I myself haven’t even started playing with Exchange Server 2007, I know, pretty weak, eh? Well there is not much I can do when I am busy managing 7 clients IT Infrastructures and they are happy with Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Well the next iteration of Exchange Server is Exchange Server 2003, the new management architecture is based on PowerShell and allows you to manage multiple Exchange 2010 organizations… for the full read-up on Exchange 2010 Management Architecture click here.

Rumors abound, ESX 4 and 4i are soon to be released. A couple notable items are that VMWare is going to allow more then 4vCPU per VM. Also Administrators will be able to hot upgrade memory using the VI Toolkit 1.5. Hot adding memory can only be done in a Server 2008 VM. With the ability to build PowerShell cmdlets, the new VI Toolkit will allow administrators to automate many tasks.

VMWare will be stopping by EPIC Information Solutions to talk about vSphere(ESX 4) April 21st is apparently the launch date for the new version of ESX. Guess what else is on April 21st? Epic Tech Day! So expect some posts from me revolving around Tech Day and VMWare.
