Harley Stagner’s Summary
I love all things technology related. However, recently I have also become very interested in the business side of Information Technology. I believe that Information Technology professionals can create positive organizational change through conversations and collaboration with key stakeholders in the company. It is time for IT departments to start communicating more effectively in order to bring true business value to the organization. We should no longer just provide technology services. Business units and IT departments can work together to bring innovative new processes to the organization through the use of new technology and "new thought processes." I hope to become a catalyst in starting these conversations in order to make a positive cultural impact on organizations.
I am also a freelance technology writer. Writing is something that I am also passionate about. Bringing two interests (writing and technology) has been a dream come true for me. I started freelancing by becoming the technical editor for a book called "Virtualization: From Desktop to the Enterprise" and I haven't stopped writing since. I have several articles published for SearchSystemsChannel.com, SearchEnterpriseLinux.com, SearchServerVirtualization.com, and SearchStorage.com. I also have an "Ask the Experts" column about virtualization technology at SearchSystemsChannel.com. I maintain a blog where I write about various topics that interest me at http://www.harleystagner.com.

Author of Pro Hyper-V
Apress
(Privately Held; Publishing industry)
April 2009 — Present (4 months)
Companies of all sizes worldwide are looking to virtualization to change the way data centers operate. Server consolidation, energy efficiency, simpler management, and deployment and increased capacity are all tangible benefits to be gained from a move to virtual servers and virtually hosted services. Microsoft has introduced Hyper–V, a Hypervisor–based virtualization platform integrated with the operating system, allowing you to dynamically add physical and virtual resources into your data center with minimal pain.
In Pro Hyper–V, author Harley Stagner takes a comprehensive approach to acquiring, deploying, using, and troubleshooting Microsoft’s answer to virtualization on the Windows Server platform. Learn from a true virtualization guru all you need to know about deploying virtual machines, managing your library of VMs in your enterprise, recovering gracefully from failure scenarios, and migrating existing physical machines to virtual hardware.
What you’ll learn
In this book, you will discover
* How Hyper–V technologies built into Windows Server 2008 can save your organization money and make it more nimble
* What it takes to deploy Hyper–V to your servers
* The process to build, configure, and deploy virtual machines
* How to migrate physical machines to virtual machines, and virtual machines to other virtual machines
* Ideas and thoughts on disaster recovery in virtualized environments
* …and much more -
