How Forefront^™ and System Center can Empower your Business Hands-On Lab
October 18, 2007

Every day IT Professionals need to manage complexity and costs while providing their business with a flexible infrastructure to drive new business opportunities. At the same time, they face increasing challenges in protecting information and controlling access. Through Forefront and System Center, companies at all stages of infrastructure maturity can help create an IT environment that is security enhanced and well managed.

This Hand-on Lab event will give you a chance to try out the Forefront and System Center portfolio of products, which are designed to maximize productivity, simplify administration, and integrate with existing infrastructure so that you can reduce costs, empower your business, and maintain control.

These Hands-on Labs cover two key tracks of "Security" and "Management", so you can choose by track or by lab which features to try out.

What is a hands-on-lab?
This isn’t your typical IT class. This hands-on lab is for experienced IT Pros who want to "try it out." You’ll spend most of the day getting hands-on practice and experience with the new product features and scenarios in your own lab environment with very little instructor presentation.
