The Experts Conference (TEC09) - Day 2

Today was another great day at TEC09.

  • Started out with a Keynote by Microsoft’s David Espinoza, who talked about how Microsoft develops Exchange Server and the elite Technology Adopion Program (TAP). David also talked about Exchange Labs and Exchange Online.  Much of what David presented has never been presented outside of Microsoft, which made for some interesting discussion!
  • This was followed by an outstanding session on electronic discovery (e-discovery) by Quest Software’s Keri Farrell. With many years of IT background at Microsoft PSS (Exchange Database Recovery team), Iron Mountain, Boston Scientific and Safety 1st. Keri is an internationally-renowned expert in the intersection between legal and IT who has spoken at LegalTech and other similar conferences … we had some great discussion!
  • J. Peter Bruzesse then led a packed session on Designing a Bulletproof Exchange 2007 Infrastructure, followed by another one of Brett Shirley’s Level 400 sessions on “What’s New” in the Exchange 2007 Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) and Information Store (IS). If you haven’t stumbled across it yet, Brett runs a blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/brettsh/default.aspx.
  • The last session of the day was a deep dive by Michael B. Smith on Exchange 2007 VSS Backups with WIndows Server 2008.
  • We wrapped up the day with a very lively and engaging Birds of a Feather session in which we covered topics ranging from migrations of all shapes and sizes, e-mail productivity, legal discovery, archiving, IT in a down economy, and more!

Looking forward to an action-packed final Day 3 of TEC tomorrow! It’s been exciting seeing TEC shape up as possibly the most deep technical Exchange conference on the ‘conference circuit’ … nothing but hard core technology for the experts of the Exchange world … Woot!
