5 out of 5 stars Read, Plan, Read Again, Review, Implement   December 1, 2008
Ian Mcquade (NJ, USA)
Virtualization is not something one should go at without fully understanding the implications; as a consultant I have seen thousands of environments over the last 14 years and over the last few more and more are attempting to virtualize whether with VMWare or another product. Most have gotten everything wrong and thus the benefits they anticipated from virtualizing have failed to be seen. This book is where one should start and read it twice. Understanding the concepts and planning thoroughly are the roots to a successful deployment and to successfully scaling out what the final goal is. VMWare isn't about simply taking Exchange, SQL, File Sharing, MOSS, and a host of other products and dumping them on a single set of hardware to save money - no there is so much more to it than that. Get the book, read the book and you'll understand.

This book was so helpful for learning VMware. It started with the basics and really explained complex concepts in an easy to understand way. I was able to prove VMware would save money and roll out clustered servers by the time I was finished with the book. This book is a must have for anyone starting with VMware.

With this step by step breakdown, Mr. Lowe takes the guesswork out of virtualizing your system. He explains it in language even your boss will understand and want to pay for.

Best resource on virtualization on the market. Starts at basic concepts and takes you through the major issues in turning an old-school datacenter into a hosted environment with virtual machines.
