TechEd 2011: What a wonderful event! Almost 10,000 of my fellow geeks gathered in Atlanta last week. The sessions were great, the expo was jumping, the parties were on target, and the Twitter Army was rocking!
We hosted the Twitter Army at TechEd 2011 this year, and we are already planning to make this community event bigger and better for TechEd 2012 in Orlando.
There were over 13,000 Twitter posts for TechEd 2011, from sessions, events, parties, etc., etc. If you missed TechEd this year, or even attended but had conflicting sessions, you can still grab value from our official press corp. the Twitter Army. You can find just about anything related to TechEd 2011 by navigating to the following links.

Community events:

We are starting now to plan for the Twitter Army at both MMS 2012 and TechEd 2012. We gathered some significant feedback from TechEd and will be incorporating it for next year. We are also putting together a sort of “steering committee” for the Twitter Army so that we can make the event the best possible.
Keep your eyes peeled for more information coming soon.

Keeping with the buzz word of the day, Pinpoint gets a new handle: the Marketplace
http://systemcenter.pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/default.aspx
I spoke with a few folks last week (primarily MS partners) who were upset that Pinpoint was such a horrid technology. Hopefully, the new name and some reorganization of the content will help fix this.

Based on recent conversations with customers and partners, it’s clear that this notion of a flexible workspace resonates with many of you. Here are a few areas where you can get started on your path to a flexible workspace:
- Personalized PC environment on any PC form factor: People expect their corporate PC experience to be consistent with their preferred settings, data and applications the moment they log-in. Flexible workspace makes it easy for them to have their personalized environment on any PC form factor that their company may provision for them.
- Work on the Road: The overall workforce is increasingly more remote, from everyday workers who work from home as they fight a spring cold to the business executive who travels four weeks a month. Many times, we know that employees don’t understand corporate security requirements and may seek the quickest way to access their email – which may inadvertently compromise IT security for their own productivity. With a flexible workspace, we rely on intelligent infrastructure to provide people with seamless experiences, giving them the access they need while not impeding their productivity or jeopardize IT security. DirectAccess and the diversity of devices available today make it possible for people to travel to any place and use their corporate PCs or tablets securely.
- Online IT management: With more and more people working remotely or less frequently connecting directly to the corporate network; there is an IT need to manage PCs online instead of onsite. IT can implement a flexible workspace through Windows Intune to manage PCs, provide fixes and release updates.
- Centralize, secure and enable continuity with Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI): With VDI, companies can allow network connected users to access highly personalized desktops and data that are well managed, secure, and quickly deployable, yet running from centrally managed servers. The intelligent infrastructure supporting the flexible workspace provides IT the ability to tailor management policies for virtualized workspaces so that resources are provided automatically to people who need them, the right applications are delivered based on how the desktop is accessed and the corporate data is secured in the datacenter, if required. In the event of a disaster, big or small, IT can quickly provision virtualized desktops to keep people going.
