In this episode we are joined by Alessandro Cardoso, Technology strategist at Microsoft to talk about his upcoming Microsoft Ignite Australia sessions:
Managing Red Hat on Azure with OMS [OPEN312]
With the capability to deploy a Red Hat supported Virtual Machine in Azure, you may be asking: "What else can I do with my Azure Red Hat VM?” We will introduce Microsoft Operations Management Suite (OMS), walking you through the incredible analytic power of the system for Linux and Windows Azure VMs. With Linux, OMS allows you to collect Syslog events, Performance data, and Nagios/Zabbix alerts
And
Deploying Linux on Microsoft Public and Private cloud [OPEN323]
Heterogeneous environments with Microsoft Windows Clients, Microsoft Windows Server, Linux, FreeBSD, and the cloud are the norm. Being able to run all of your virtualized workloads on a single hypervisor simplifies management and optimizes server capacity. Learn how to deploy Linux VM to Hyper-V or Windows Azure.

For our continued focus on speakers at the upcoming Microsoft Ignite event on the Gold Coast we speak with Andrew McMurray from Microsoft about Azure Information Protection. Andrew’s presentation is:
Prevent unwanted and embarrassing leakage with Azure Information Protection
Microsoft Azure Information Protection helps you safeguard your data throughout the complete data lifecycle. Data is "born" protected and carries the protection wherever it travels. So you don't need to worry where it's stored or with whom it's shared - you can rest assured it's always protected. Join us to learn more about the technology and how it can solve your information protection challenges.

After getting through all the cloud news, Marc and I have a chat to an old and frequent podcast guest, Technical Solution Specialist, Enterprise Mobility and Security, Jeff Alexander. We hope this will be the first in a series focused on the Enterprise Mobility and Security Suite from Microsoft. We kick off the discussions with Jeff telling us all about Azure AD and role that it plays both on premises and in the cloud. We dig deep in how Azure AD is being used to secure the growth of mobile devices and the demands of users to have full access to their information at all times.
