Nortec's Mobile Demo Kit
Brings an Entire Server Room to
You
Nortec's Mobile Demo Kit is practically an
entire server room in a box. Developed in
conjunction with Microsoft, Nortec built the
Mobile Demo Kit to hold three servers, which
run the latest Microsoft Servers (Windows
2008 R2). Nortec will bring the Demo Kit to
you without changing your network in any way.
Customers can try Exchange 2010 for
themselves, become familiar with Exchange
2010's benefits such as greater flexibility
and mobility. And because the HyperV cluster
can run on any server, Nortec experts can
demonstrate many products, including System
Center, Active Directory, Exchange, Windows 7
and more. Customers also have the unique
opportunity to ask an expert questions and
advice on how and why they should upgrade.

1. Tailor the Service to your specific needs.
Consider each offering carefully. Select the
