Third Tier: Be the Cloud – Client Facing Environment Demo & Chat

Tomorrow at 1700MST is my regular monthly Third Tier chat.

Since we’ve spent a fair amount of time on our Be the Cloud product (IaaS to your clients) backend setup, now it’s time to have a look at what the BtC clients would be working with.

The client environment is based on our SBS (Small Business Solution) that provides a Small Business Server like IT experience but greatly improved.

• Remote Web Portal access
• Remote desktop access
• Exchange services (OWA, EAS, OA, Public Folders, ETC)
• RemoteApp based application access
• SharePoint CMS for Check Out/In and Versioning in Documentation

Our goal in designing our SBS was to give our clients as close to a Small Business Server experience as possible.

I believe we’ve done that in spades and after our chat tomorrow I believe you’ll agree. :)

When: 1700MST

Where: Third Tier Join.me

A recording of the chat, barring any technical difficulties, would be posted on the Third Tier blog at a later date.
