We'd like to officially open our location with a Grand Opening Event!  But we won't bore everybody with cutting ribbons (Julie doesn't trust Bob with scissors) or long speeches.

 

But how about some burgers?  Check.  Other food and beverages?  No problem.  Some general fun and games?  Oh, yeah.  And (only if you want it) some demonstrations of the technologies that we're using to help our customers with?  Ummm...(ok, we'll throw in some prizes and other giveaways)....YEAH!

 

Bring your Spouse, friends, kids, whatever.  Let's have some fun!

 

When:  Wednesday, September 17th, 4pm-8pm

Where:  5225 Darrow Rd, in beautiful Hudson Ohio!

 

RSVP's are requested, but not required.  Contact us preferrably by Friday September 12th), and let us know you're coming!

Our old business # (216 453 2682) will remain active for awhile

If you were ever to our old web site, you would have been... well, unimpressed.   We really didn't have the time available to commit to making it look the way we wanted.  Well, we finally got around to it.  With help from Cyndee Duhon and from David Flynn Design (www.flynndesign.com), we're finally able to look at our web site (www.Simplex-IT.com) without that queazy feeling in our stomachs.

Simplex-IT will have a booth at The Business Show, which will be at Signature of Solon Country Club.  For more information, check out here.

Both of these are free and open to the public.  At both of these events, we'll be demoing items like SBS 2008, Phone systems (yup!) and some of the latest technology in Disaster Recovery (tailored to the SMB market!).

As we've mentioned before, the best time to find resources from Microsoft about their products is when they release their new versions.  SQL is no exception  Right now is the best time to start learning (if you haven't already) about SQL 2008.

Demos and Videos

Webcasts for IT Pros

Small Business Servers new version, SBS 2008 is slated for release later this year.  We'll also be introducing EBS (Essential Business Server) 2008, which is aimed at mid-sized organizations.  For more information, click here. 

If you've taken Microsoft certification exams, you know one thing.  They can be pretty expensive.  This is especially true if you don't pass and have to retake the exam.  If you sign up for the Second Shot offer, your second attempt is Free!  Go here for more information.

 

 From Previous Issues:

 

If you've been reading our little blurbs (you don't have a life either, eh?), you know that Simplex-IT has been keeping up with Server 2008, and it looks pretty darn good.  And believe us, we wouldn't say that if we didn't believe it.

 

But one of the coolest features, Hyper-V, wasn't available...until now.  Click here for more information about Microsofts' latest virtualization platform.

We're already helping clients with their virtualization projects...should we be helping you as well?

Between now and the end of the year, if you take any of these Microsoft Official Cirriculum (MOC) courses, you'll walk away with a free copy of Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition.  Yup...free:

 
Here's an interesting tidbit.  Go to a training facility like DeVore Technologies and you might be taught by Simplex-IT's own Sam Hays or Bob Coppedge (both Certified Trainers and certified on Server 2008).  Contact Jen Hughes at DeVore if you're interested.  Tell her Simplex-IT sent you.

Ok, if you've been reading any of the online stuff, you've seen that Vista, Microsoft's much talked-about OS has its first Service Pack available.

 

But did you know that Microsoft is also making free unlimited installation and compatability support for SP1?  Email, Chat or phone support is free from Microsoft directly!  Go here for more information.

In many cases, we post this stuff on our blogs so eager folks don't have to wait for this newsletter.  So, don't forget to check out our blogs.  One is aimed at more technical topics (www.Simplex-IT.com/TechBlog).  The other is more business-friendly (www.Simplex-IT.com/BizBlog).
