Product Description
Product Description
Server Sprawl and escalating IT costs have managers and system administrators scrambling to find ways to cut costs and reduce Total Cost of Ownership of their physical infrastructure. Combining software applications onto a single server, even if those applications are from the same software vendor, can be dangerous and problems hard to troubleshoot.
Virtualization allows you to consolidate many servers onto a single physical server reducing hardware, electrical, cooling, and administrative costs. These virtual servers run completely independent of each other so if one crashes the other are not affected. Planning and implementing a server consolidation is a complex process. This book details the requirements for such a project, includes sample forms and templates, and delivers several physical to virtual migration strategies which will save both time and costs. Readers of this book will easily be able to plan and deploy VMware, Microsoft Virtual Server, and Xen.
Key Features:
* Create a virtual network to exchange information or provide a service to other virtual machines or computers.
* Use virtualization to support removable media such as CD or DVD optical disks
* Reduce server costs, administration overhead, and complexity

VMWare Deficiency, Dec 30 2007
By Remo Chiun "Rogallo_Shaolin" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best Damn Server Virtualization Book Period: Including Vmware, Xen, and Microsoft Virtual Server (Paperback)
I agree with previous reviewer.I was looking for more comprehensive coverage of the predominant Virtualization technology, but was left with a sense of dissapointment.
The biggest benefit I can see in its coverage is regarding the API and scripting it. I am a user of HP Rapid Deployment Pack, and am looking to gain maximum benefit of packaged scripts. This book appears to cover the topics I need in that area.
However as coverage regarding the major elements and benefits of VMWare goes I am sorely dissapointed. It appears to only cover ESX server itself. It does not cover the benefits VMWare has above that in regards to HA, DRS, VMotion in anything meaningful.

weak coverage of vmware, Dec 16 2007
By gmulchan "gmulchan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Best Damn Server Virtualization Book Period: Including Vmware, Xen, and Microsoft Virtual Server (Paperback)
The book explains microsoft and xen pretty well. However VMWare technologies are not covered in detail. Considering that VMWare is the most dominant player in virtualization, this is a big weakness in the book.
