  • SQL Server – Understanding Logging and Recovery – Logging and recovery are not the most exciting features in SQL Server right?  But they are critical to any successful deployment; but often misunderstood.  This article goes into some detail about these 2 critical features which will help move your business along the path to a better performing database.
  • Virtualization – Automating Virtual Machine Host Deployment – Ah Virtualization..one of my favourite topics of all.  This article talks about how Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 is simple to deploy and redeploy with just a few clicks.  There is even some sample code for you to have a look at.
  • Microsoft Dynamics – Deploying Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 – This is not a topic I know much about but one that is gaining momentum all the time in the enterprise.  This article goes into details about planning for the right solution for your business.
