Overview
A Windows Server is often perceived as some mysterious black box. It's intimidating and cryptic.
I'm here to tell you that it's not that mysterious. This course is designed to expose what Windows Server actually is, show clear examples and provide explanations for how it's used in corporations, and to show you how you can deploy one yourself.
Fully-Functional Domain
Once you complete the course, you'll have a fully-functional Windows Server environment with your own domain, ready to host a Qlik Sense server or whatever else you would like to use it for. By the end of the course, Windows Server won't seem nearly as intimidating as it may seem now.

About Instructor.
My name is Mikhail P. Bespartochnyy, and I bring over 10 years of specialized experience in Qlik Sense infrastructure, business intelligence, and analytics. My expertise includes deploying and administrating QlikView and Qlik Sense servers, as well as developing BI solutions for hyper-sensitive data, and implementing precise and reliable record-level and field-level security.
Throughout my 6+ year career at Accenture – one of the largest global consulting firms – and 4+ years at Susquehanna International Group — one of the world's largest proprietary trading firms — I supported global teams and clients as well as built and maintained resilient Qlik infrastructures. Working in environments where even minimal downtime could cause significant business disruptions taught me the critical importance of flawless server deployments, secure and seamless upgrades, robust backup automation, and rapid disaster recovery.
I've successfully executed dozens of Qlik Sense and PostgreSQL server upgrades, migrated Qlik Sense servers to new hardware both on dedicated and virtual Windows Servers, designed automated backup strategies that safeguard data daily with minimal server downtime, built dynamic and scalable Qlik Sense security rules, and have done so much more (too much to list here).
Today, as the founder and lead consultant at howdash, I'm committed to simplifying Qlik Sense administration through practical, clarity-driven training. Drawing upon years of hands-on experience, my courses are intentionally designed to solve the specific real-world challenges that Qlik Sense administrators face daily. These targeted courses are built to help you acquire practical, immediately applicable skills—not generic theory.
By leveraging proven techniques distilled from my decade of experience, you'll gain essential skills to minimize downtime, reduce daily administration risks, and confidently manage critical Qlik Sense infrastructure, positioning you as a trusted expert within your organization.
