IT pros, you know that enterprises desire the flexibility and affordability of the cloud, and service providers want the ability to support more enterprise customers.
This lab is an exploration of Windows Azure Pack’s (WAP’s) infrastructure services (IaaS), which bring Microsoft Azure technologies to your datacenter (on your hardware) and build on the power of Windows Server and System Center to deliver an enterprise-class, cost-effective solution for self-service, multi-tenant cloud infrastructure, and application services.
Through a lot of hands-on labs, learn how you can provide Self Service (Iaas) to your users and co-administrators through Windows Azure Pack. We will also tie in to other products, for example System Center Virtual Machine Manager, System Center Orchestrator, System Center Service Manager etc.
