MVA Live Q&A: Microsoft Virtualization

On-Line, April 3, 2013

Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA) recently published a three-Jump Start series covering Microsoft’s approach to virtualization. All three of these courses have been so well-received by the community, we decided to ask Senior Technical Evangelist Symon Perriman to host a 90-minute “MVA Live Q&A” session on the topic. This free session is open to everyone, so if you’re interested in Microsoft virtualization, please register now.
