5.0 out of 5 stars VCP 5 Certification achieved Mar 22 2012
By Fred - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book with the purpose of preparing for the VCP 5 certification exam. It covers everything that you need for the test, whether you are just starting out or have your VCP 3 or 4 and want to upgrade.

Aside from that, it is now also one of my resources that I using on a daily basis when questions coming up about virtualization projects I am putting together. It is a great tool and I highly recommend that you add it to your collection.

Also, I did get my certification!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Nov 23 2011
By Scott - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Like one of the other reviews says, this really does cover it all for all people from beginners to experts. For me, that's worked as a stepping stone. Lowe introduces you to VMware and delves into the basics and the most advanced stuff. He really throws all of his knowledge out on the page. While I'm still a beginner, I feel like I'll be using this as resource for a while. I think it's a must have even if you've been using VMware vSphere for a while

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Supplement for those on VCP 5 path Jan 25 2012
By K. Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Scott Lowe does an excellent job breaking down and explaining the rather intimidating components of VMware vSphere 5.

Lowe's book goes far more in depth at the internals than the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V5.0] class has time to do. Which can be challenging to the point of madness. The author writes well and explains rather unintuitive abstracts in a way that is accessible to a tech audience.

Almost every paragraph in this book demands synthesis, as the VMWare product suite is vast and complex. Usually after a couple hours of reading, I would walk away zombified for the rest of the day. I think it took me about a month to slog through the entire thing.

My only gripe with the book that the screenshots are so miniscule and sometimes too light that I'm often tempted to haul out a magnifying glass while reading

So if you're ready to take the plunge into VMWare's vSphere, this book is definitely worth the bucks.
