This review is from: Practical Virtualization Solutions: Virtualization from the Trenches (Negus Software Solutions) (Paperback)
This book just introduces virtualization and just touches most of the the solution available today.The sequence of instructions as screen shots are welcome addition but lack depth analysis of each environment.If you are new to virtualization and want all the basic information about setting up as screen shots then this can be useful is that respect.

Many OS's with One Footprint,
By Scott L. Wolpow "Too Many Books To Read" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Virtualization Solutions: Virtualization from the Trenches (Negus Software Solutions) (Paperback)
What exactly is virtualization and how will I benefit from it, is the question you may be asking yourself.
This book answers that and gives you a excellent roadmap form preplanning through deployment and finishes with maintenance. To be able to develop and support my clients, I used a number of machines that matched my clients configurations. I also used removable hard drives to achieve more diversity. It was really a big hassle tracking and keeping OS's current. I am increasing working with multiple OS's or versions of the same OS's. I like to have the exact environment that I will deploy the applications to. I happened upon this book and it had clear instructions to plan out virtualizing my developer infrastructure. The book explains the different methods of virtualization and how they apply. Though it is written more for the enterprise level, it is useful for the small business owner. By virtualizing one server, a client can have a secure environment to run internal systems, while still having internet access. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Good apetizer on virtualization,
By Bil Arikan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Virtualization Solutions: Virtualization from the Trenches (Negus Software Solutions) (Paperback)
A good general book on the subject of virtualization. It's a snapshot of what Virtualization is at the moment and brings the reader up to speed with some basic history and practices that will give you an understanding of what you can use in your company.
Just don't expect to be a grandmaster on the subject, this is more for getting to the beach head, if you want to storm the virtualization bunkers your going to need much heavier books. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

This is a good start if you are new to the subject,
By K. Lind - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Virtualization Solutions: Virtualization from the Trenches (Negus Software Solutions) (Paperback)
Simply put, this book is a fantastic resource for anyone thinking of deploying a second operating system on their computer/network/server. A must have in my opinion.
