First Symon introduces the free tools, which include Hyper-V Server 2012 (http://microsoft.com/hvs), Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.3 (http://aka.ms/iSCSITarget), Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan: http://aka.ms/RDCman), and Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT: http://aka.ms/RSAT).

Next, at [11:55] the team walks through an installation of Hyper-V Server 2012 using Windows 8 Client Hyper-V, taking advantage of the lightweight installation package and small storage footprint. Symon then uses RDCMan to manage a new Hyper-V Server 2012 host and discusses some password management features. Then, Rick talks about the GUIless configuration options used to join the Hyper-V Server to the domain, and also discusses different GUI-based remote management options.

Symon then [16:20] installs the iSCSI Software Target, creates an iSCSI target and virtual disks, and connects both hosts to the target through their iSCSI initiators. Next, the team uses PowerShell to initialize and format the newly created iSCSI disks. The team then [28:25] switches to using RSAT for remote server management of the Hyper-V hosts from a Windows 8 laptop. After connecting to the hosts, they install the Failover Clustering feature and being to build the cluster. After validating the Hyper-V hosts and iSCSI storage, the team ends the demo by creating a Failover Clustering.

To accomplish this, the Gladinet software integrates with Windows Explorer to provide desktop access to both online storage services from your PC. Once the Gladinet software is installed, the files stored at Amazon can be moved over to Azure via drag-and-drop just as if they were local files stored on your computer. Doing so starts a “transfer task” in Gladinet which can even be scheduled to run in the background, run at some point in the future, or run as a recurring task, says the blog post. You can keep tabs on the task from Gladinet’s management console, too.

Gladinet software is available in both free and professional versions for 32 and 64-bit Windows computers.
