Exchange 2013 Big LogoThe Exchange Team announced Cumulative Update 8 earlier this month.

As always, test these updates in a lab first!

It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. In fact, I used to do a lot of testing from a Windows 8.1 laptop where I had Hyper-V installed. My laptop ran 3 VMs–Exchange 2010, 2013 and a DC. Hyper-V comes included with Windows 8. Its comparable to VMware Workstation in functionality.

The Kemp Load Balancers are a fantastic series of products.

Just this month, Kemp announced that it is offering a free virtual load balancer.

Always free

This is not a watered-down version of the paid product. Nor is it a watered-down version of the hardware appliance. This is a fully featured Layer-7 load balancer. The main drawback – it is throttled to 20Mbps throughput.

They will no longer have to worry about addressing the trade-off between cost, quality and upgradeability associated with some open source and application-embedded load balancing solutions.”

On Twitter @KempTech stated “We did it for our fans.” [Read more…] about Free Layer-7 Load Balancer from Kemp Technologies

As always, test these updates in a lab first!

It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. In fact, I do a lot of testing from my own Windows 8.1 laptop where I have Hyper-V installed. Hyper-V comes included with Windows 8. Its comparable to VMware Workstation in functionality (and I run 3 Exchange Servers from it)
