Getting to know Windows Server 2019

The cloud is a growing source of innovation, but on-premises datacenters aren’t going away. The challenge is to blend the strengths of each in a way that meets your organization’s needs, using a hybrid strategy. Hybrid cloud enables a future-proof, long-term approach that will play a central role in IT strategies for the foreseeable future.

Benefit from cloud computing on your terms

The latest version of Windows Server has been specifically designed to bridge on-premises and the cloud, to help you benefit from cloud computing on your terms. Organizations are using Windows Server to extend their datacenters to the public cloud. They synchronize file servers, securely connect to cloud services, and perform backups on Azure. And now you can use Windows Admin Center to simplify everyday server management tasks for Windows Server running anywhere—on physical servers, virtual machines, on-premises, and in Azure, Microsoft’s cloud offering.

What’s new and improved in Windows Server 2019

1. Hybrid Cloud
   Extend your on-premises Windows Server environments to Azure and easily integrate high value services.
2. Security
   Ability to guard against ransomware attacks and help stop malicious virtual machine tampering.
3. Application development
   New support for Kubernetes and new capabilities to deploy and scale out containers across a hybrid environment.
4. Hyperconverged infrastructure
   Improvements to Microsoft’s hyperconverged platform now power prebuilt solutions that simplify deployment.

Windows Server 2019 Administration Training

This five-day instructor-led course is designed primarily for IT professionals who have some experience with Windows Server. It is designed for professionals who will be responsible for managing identity, networking, storage and compute by using Windows Server 2019, and who need to understand the scenarios, requirements, and options that are available and applicable to Windows Server 2019. The course teaches IT professionals the fundamental administration skills required to deploy and support Windows Server 2019 in most organizations.

What is Robotic Process Automation (RPA)?

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the technology that allows anyone today to configure computer software, or a “robot” to emulate and integrate the actions of a human interacting within digital systems to execute a business process. RPA robots utilize the user interface to capture data and manipulate applications just like humans do. They interpret, trigger responses and communicate with other systems in order to perform on a vast variety of repetitive tasks. Only substantially better: an RPA software robot never sleeps and makes zero mistakes.

UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform – AI Powered Automation
Babbage Simmel partners with UiPath. Built for both business and IT, UiPath is the leading platform for Enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA). The UiPath platform simplifies digital transformation by rapidly automating processes.
