It’s been a while since my last post, I’ve been off doing the Enterprise Architect work and that has kept me fairly busy. There’s more to follow on the Enterprise Integration principles series of articles, and I swear I’ll get them done sooner rather than later. At the moment I’m […]

This is the beginning of a series of articles focusing on how to identify and leverage value from defining and building mature system integration patterns. Integration is an aspect of system engineering that defines the interaction between two or more different systems to share data and support business solutions across […]
Windows Server 2016 was launched less than two months ago, and one of the attractive options is an excellent makeover of Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS). The latest version is stacked with great features and is seriously worth the upgrade. However, I thought I’d point out one of the […]

Most regions paired for redundancy. 500+ new releases in the past12 months, exceptional rate of change. Additional stats – the platform is very […]
Introduction We’re finally here, and luckily for me, Microsoft has published an updated version of the Azure Stack – Technical Preview 2.

Today I attended a Federal Government briefing at the Microsoft offices in Canberra. The agenda covered a wide area of topics, all relevant to Government and other sectors. These are my raw notes, taken during each session. I apologise in advance if they appear incoherent; I was put to task […]

Following on from Part 2. Editorial note: These keynotes started around 8:45am and ran non-stop until 10:45am, but sometimes went over. As a result, it’s a lot of content to cover, hence why I’ve been splitting them out into separate articles. By the time we returned to the MTCC, it […]
Following on from Part 1 I left off just after the first vision keynote on the first day of the conference. After the keynote finished, thousands of delegates started walking back to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). The initial push seemed to be towards the lowest level of MTCC […]
Earlier this month I flew to Toronto, Canada to attend the 2016 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. This was my first time attending a partner conference, and it was quite an experience. There was far too much content to complete in a single article, so I’ll start with an introduction and […]
Continuing on from the previous article.. I carefully inserted the PowerEdge M910. So that’s where I left off. Jumping straight in, I powered up the enclosure to be greeted with errors. So it turns out that any blade inserted needs its mezzanine cards to be aligned (slotted) to the chassis […]
Last year I reviewed a wireless charging clock, which is still performing admirably on my desk. Unfortunately the iPhone 6 (also obtained last year) does not support Qi wireless charging without some assistance. Enter the aircharge wireless charging case for the iPhone 6, available from friends of Sanders Technology at […]
