Episode 006 – Mike Steineke

This week I’m joined by Mike Steineke VP of IT at EdgeNet.  In this episode Mike and I discussed some of the new features of Windows 2012 including Windows and SQL Server clustering, Hyper-V v3 and more.

Yes there’s a little flub during the recording.  Mike does say that Windows 2008 R2 Standard supports clustering which isn’t correct.  SQL 2008 R2 Standard supports clustering, not Windows.
