Product Description
Detailing the design and deployment of a VMware ESX Server environment, and written from the practical experience of proven VMware engineers, this book provides IT architects with the insight needed to tackle tough design issues such as ESX Server security, network and SAN design, host hardware selection, guest selection and configuration, management tool selection, ESX performance optimizations, and automated installs and provisioning. A linear progression is provided, starting at the basic architecture of ESX server and then moving on to server configurations, design alternatives for hardware, SAN configuration and management tools, the creation of guest operating systems, and strategy development for implementing this technology into a specific environment. Advanced topics such as unattended installs, integration with network management software, configuration options for high availability, and disaster recovery scenarios are also addressed.

A very well written VMware primer that allows for additional in-depth understanding and awareness of this disruptive technology -
 Good, But Out of Date February 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the book trying to learn VMware for the first time. Most of what it refers to is version 3.01 and mentions that iSCSI is not supported. Um, it is now.
So it gave me a great basic understanding. But many features now included in 3.0.2 are not included.
Good book and he makes some examples quite easy to understand, but the technology has passed it by.
I will buy the next version if it is discussing version 3.5 and all the other flavors VMWare has forked it in to now.

This reference guide is an excellent resource for someone who is just learning about the VMware ESX environment. It is simple to follow and rather thorough. I recommended this product to all the engineers under my direction.

I have a technical background but no experience with VMware. This book provided a great insight into how ESX works. Parts of it were more technical then I need for an overview, but for an administrator it would be great. I highly recommend this book.
ATDG - Great Book - Old Version August 9, 2007

This is a great book for those working with ESX 2.5. With VI3 out, some of the concepts remain but a lot of the techno stuff has now been superceded. It would be great if the author / publishers noted on the release on Amazon, which version of Os this is for.
