It’s that time of the year again, when the temperatures start to cool, the leaves start to fall, football is back… and it’s time for MICROSOFT IGNITE 2018!
The DataON team has been working hard to get ready for Microsoft Ignite 2018, and here’s a preview of what we’ll have at our booth #221!
Windows Server 2019 Preview — We’ll be showcasing Windows Server 2019 on the DataON S2D family of hyper-converged infrastructure. All DataON S2D solutions have earned Windows Server Software-Defined (WSSD) hyper-converged infrastructure premium certification, the highest certification from Microsoft.
DataON MUST for Windows Admin Center — DataON’s exclusive visibility, monitoring, and management tool for Windows Server environments will be available as a native extension for Windows Admin Center. Now you can use both MUST and Windows Admin Center from the same pane of glass. Plus, MUST provides expanded functionality, including historic data reporting, disk mapping, system alerts, and SAN-like call home service.
Kepler-47 Gen 2 —This is the latest version of our hyper-converged appliance for ROBO environments, which is also WSSD certified. It features a new chassis and the latest Intel Xeon processors.
Migrate from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2017 — With SQL Server 2008 reaching end of life, do you need help with your migration plan to SQL Server 2017? Microsoft MVP Melody Zacharias will be in our booth for free migration and design consultation, with a live migration demo. Sign up for a free consultation
The latest hardware —We’ll have the new Intel Ruler NVMe SSDs and NVDIMM storage class memory.
GIVEAWAYS! — Make sure you register for a chance to win a Microsoft Surface Pro or a Bose QuietComfort 35 Bluetooth Headphone. Or our GRAND PRIZE, a custom Honolulu surfboard! We’ll also have opportunities to score our exclusive IT Hero and Honolulu t-shirts or a Starbuck’s gift card!
Follow us live from Orlando on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We’ll keep you updated on what’s happening at Microsoft Ignite.
