Need to Know Podcast–Episode 106

In this episode we talk with Stephane Budo from Vigilant IT all about Azure stack and how Microsoft is bringing what it has learned from running the public cloud and making that available to people who want to run their own private cloud. Azure stack provides a consistent way of managing datacentre resources no matter where they may be. Allowing management via a single consistent interface provides a lot of benefits as Stephane explains.

Of course you’ll get the latest Azure and Office 365 news from Marc and myself as well as plenty of opinions as to what’s happening with Microsoft and the Cloud. We appreciate you taking the time to listen and look forward to your feedback.

Azure Backup overview

There are three different forms of Azure Backup, many of which I have detailed previously here including:

Azure desktop backup – https://blog.ciaops.com/2014/12/azure-desktop-backup.html

Azure Backup Server for Applications configuration – https://blog.ciaops.com/2016/01/azure-backup-server-for-applications.html

Backup files and folders using Azure – http://bit.ly/1TkoBe7

Restoring files and folders with Azure backup – http://bit.ly/1WBVsih

Azure Backup for Applications using Resource Manager – http://bit.ly/1WkWC1N

However, I have decided to pull of this information together and update it for Azure Resource Manager (ARM). The result is the video presentation above and accompanying slides which you can find at:

https://doc.co/BV66nP/qcihGm

Hopefully, this makes understanding and configuring Azure Backup and lot easier for people and encourages them to start using it.

SBS to Office 365 and Azure slides

https://docs.com/d/embed/D25193681-9964-1490-6940-000704935949%7eMd4186d87-61d5-259a-4d26-00a8bd86cfff

I have recently completed a roadshow for Microsoft where I spoke about the options and potential processes for the migration of Small Business Server (SBS) environments to Office 365 and Azure. I have posted the slides from that presentation on my docs.com site so they are available for people to download. The presentation is also posted above.

The idea with the presentation was to show the possibilities when it comes to migration to Office 365 and Azure. It is not a step-by-step procedure for those environments, there are simply too many variables. However, hopefully, it does give people looking to do this a better overall picture of what can be done and a potential way of going about it.

I’ll be diving deeper into the migration process from SBS to Office 365 and Azure, based on this presentation, in upcoming articles so stay tuned for more.
