I just received notification that I have been again granted the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award in the area of Windows Server Virtualization! Unless my memory is failing me, this is the sixth year in which I’ve received the award. Thanks, as always, to Microsoft and the MVP program for the award and all of its benefits!
This area of specialization includes a group of virtualization-focused that have in-depth knowledge of Hyper-V, Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and a lot of related technologies. Obviously, virtualization and cloud computing are popular areas of IT, so it’s especially nice to receive the award this year.
Earlier this year, I had the benefit of interacting with a wide variety of IT experts at the Microsoft MVP Summit in Redmond, WA. I try to attend this event every year, as it’s a great opportunity to network with others and to get some inside information on the future of things from Microsoft. It’s also a good excuse to make it to the Pacific Northwest. So far, this year has presented itself for numerous opportunities to write, speak, and consult on the topic of virtualization strategies and implementations. I hope to keep this up throughout the rest of the year.
