1600 participants gathered in Stockholm for two days at Tech Days 2015 to learn the latest news from Microsoft. Each day begins with a general briefings to all participants and is followed by deep-diving attractions in specific areas.
Tech Days 2015 show clear that Microsoft put increasing focus on cloud services and it is likely a smart career move to keep up with the pace in order to maintain its relevance. Although knowledge of Windows 10, and Server 2016 will be increasingly sought after for both local environments solutions running in the IaaS solutions.
During the initial presentation beats Microsoft’s Sweden-CEO Jonas Persson, the three areas that Microsoft will focus increasingly on the coming years.
first Windows 10
This is the final version of Windows is released, and it will be “evergreen” and update itself perpetuity. The issue is to understand how quickly the news will come. Ben Armstrong, manager of Microsoft’s virtualization platform Hyper-V, says that his own client is automatically updated with just a few days apart and invites the audience to join the “Fast call” which means you get new features as soon as they are released publicly. He fills in that it is the most secure OS available today and that apps written for Windows 10 will run on everything from the Xbox to a phone. Three of the things that makes Windows 10 so secure is Windows Hello, which logs you based on your appearance through a camera, MS Passport that allows passwords no longer need to use the Internet and Virtual Secure Mode which uses an isolated Hyper-V partition to implement privacy control in the main the OS and ensure that no unauthorized changes occur there.
2. Office 365
Office 365 is singled out as one of the fastest growing products like Microsoft have right now. More and more companies are entering into service to avoid having to maintain their own infrastructure for e-mail, Skype and SharePoint. Over 90 percent of the Fortune 500, use Office 365 in any form. Knowledge of PowerShell is here absolutely vital in order to maintain the environment in an easy way.
– Accept the high rate of change. The world has changed and young people entering the workforce today expect a modern approach and flexible way to store and access data, says Jesper Ståhle, the MVP of the Office.
Office 365 is updated very often, and a example of this is that since a few weeks back can track documents protected with RMS and see how they are used. Noticing the user anything improper use, he can “kill” the document immediately so that it can no longer be opened.

third Windows Azure
Microsoft’s Azure cloud service includes many different services and even here there is a rapid development. Among other things, launched a new series of virtual servers containing real GPU, which can be used by users or applications that need access to fast graphics processing.
Windows Server 2016 may also be attention at the conference and Mikael Nyström Markus Lassfolk holds well-attended session on news of the OS. The new file system REFS emphasized as the file system they will use more and more in the crisp solutions in the future, where an advantage is that it can not be fragmented. Still missing, however, some features such as deduplication, so you should look after the needs you have before making their choice. A big advantage is that large files (like VHDX) can be created in seconds, no matter how big they are.
Other news
Host Resource Protection
One of the biggest news news in Hyper-V 2016 Host Resource Protection. It is an example of a function created for the Hyper-V runs the Azure, and there are of course many users trying to destroy the service. Detected unauthorized activity so reducing the resources for this World Cup to protect the other virtual servers running on the same host server. It provides the ability to adjust memory allocation (both add and delete) and network cards to a World Cup during operation.
Windows Containers
Windows Containers represents a new level of virtualization of the OS where a single OS are divided into several “incarnations”. This means a lower level of isolation of these “Olympic”, but you get great benefits regarding memory utilization, storage, and CPU utilization.

Nano Server
Nano Server is an extremely downsized Windows Server OS, which is only supposed to be used in large virtualized environments where everything is controlled through PowerShell scripts and central management of all resources. Another fun novelty is the possibility of using nested virtualization. This means you can run Hyper-V on top of Hyper-V, which can be ideal for test lab and demo environments. PowerShell Direct means that you can run PowerShell scripts in a VM directly from the host server, which facilitates extremely, especially in the case of use of network virtualization.
SharePoint 2016
SharePoint 2016 primarily for updating techniques and not developers. One difference is that it requires SQL 2014 which may be challenging in some environments. Wiktor underlines that there will be a local SharePoint for a long time, although many customers will instead go into the SharePoint Online as part of Office 365. Many of the news are taken directly from Office 365 and it shows again clear that Microsoft is primarily developing for the cloud and secondarily for local installations.
