Just a century ago, there were less than a million deer in North America. Today, there are nearly 30 million. No wonder it seems they're moving in right down the block. Nowhere are the deer more at home than in the suburbs. Whitetailed deer live in the boundaries, where our backyards meet the backwoods, and the woodlands meet the roads. From our kitchen windows we spot them, nibbling away at our gardens and shrubs.But how well do we know our neighbors from the natural world? Not very well at all, as it turns out.New investigations into their world reveal a more complex society than we imagined. These are smart, adaptable creatures, with impressive skills, senses and family lives, yet they also have unexpected shortcomings. Their famous "deer in the headlights" immobility, for instance, is not caused by fear at all, but rather by bright light overpowering their visual cortex and locking down their brains for a period of up to several minutes. Also among these extraordinary creatures are some exceptional rarities, such as the tiny endangered Key deer that captivate the residents of the Florida Keys, and the spellbinding white ghost deer that roam the northern woods.

CBT Nuggets – Configuring And Deploying A Private Cloud with System Center 2012 70-247
In a world of confusion on cloud computing’s technologies, techniques, and reason for being, it takes a lot of guts for Microsoft to include a button marked “Create Cloud” in System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012. With so many people still trying to figure out what cloud means, the clever developers at Microsoft can now simply say, “Hey, we’ve got a button for that!”
That button might be a bold move for Microsoft, but clicking it isn’t something to be taken lightly. Before you ever consider that click, you’ve got to build Hyper-V hosts. You’ll need a storage and network fabric among those hosts. You might even need shared storage if clustering, automatic failover, and load balancing are your requirements. Indeed, that button might seem simple, but there’re a lot of configurations that require attention first.

This course will show you how to manage all of your virtual resources in one spot, with Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). After viewing this course you'll know how to create, edit, start and stop VMs, view and control each VM's console, and see performance and utilization statistics for each VM.You can also view all running VMs and hosts and their live performance and resource utilization statistics as well as use KVM, Xen or QEMU virtual machines, running either locally or remotely, all with VMM. To get the most out of this course, you should have some experience managing Windows desktops and servers, and familiarity with the fundamentals of virtualization.
