VCP 5 done 7 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Hi, I read this book several times from cover to cover and used it also as a part of my VCP 5 training. All I can say is that Scott did a great job, this book provides almost everything that you need to know about Vsphere 5. Comparing this book to Mastering Vmware Vsphere 4 (also from the same author), I found it better and easier to read, but this is just my personal opinion. Scott precisely explains each topic together with some examples. I would recommend this book to anyone who is new to vmware, wants to know new stuff in Vsphere 5 or is getting ready for VCP5. I believe this book is ''Bible'', ''All-in-one'', ''The best Vsphere 5'' book in these days. I have done my VCP 4 and VCP 5 only thanks to Scott's Mastering Vmware Vsphere books.

Highly Recommended 21 April 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you want a book that covers almost all of the subjects then this is the one. I couldn't do without this and fits perfectly with my on-going self learning.

Whilst it kind of goes without saying - you do need to know the basics of VSphere or virtualisation of other technologies before delving into this book. However, if you've already been using v4 onwards you'll be very familiar and this book covers a large number of subjects.

Excellent read 3 Mar 2012
By Umesh
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is written in a concise manner - any one starting off as an admin or even an advanced engineer will appreciate the effort put into this book. The diagrams are clear and easy to understand. Anyone studying for their VCP-510 - I would say is a must read. Use this as your VMWare Bible. The storage section is well written but if you require further information - its probably best to buy a VM book dedicated to storage.
