VMware vSphere is the most widely deployed virtualization platform today.

Expert authors share with you the factors that shape the design of a vSphere implementation. Learn how to make the right design decisions for your environment.

Explores the latest release of VMware vSphere
Details the overall design process, server hardware selection, network layout, security considerations, storage infrastructure, virtual machine design, and more
Debates the merits of Scaling Up servers versus Scaling Out, ESX versus ESXi hypervisor, vSwitches versus dvSwitches, and what the different storage protocols have to offer
Illustrates the tools to monitor, to plan, to manage, to deploy and to secure your vSphere landscape
Steps through the design decisions that a typical company may encounter, and questions the choices made
Packed with real–world proven strategies, VMware vSphere Design examines how the virtualization architecture for your company should ideally look—and how best to achieve it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for all VMware admins and designers, 8 July 2011

planetman - See all my reviews

This review is from: VMware VSphere Design (Paperback)

This book is invaluable if you are learning about, deploying, or planning and designing a VMware vSphere environment. Everything is covered in detail, well organised and well written. If you are looking to pass your VCP4 exam, this will help you learn how it all hangs together, and combined with Eric Siebert's "Maximum vSphere" and the official VMware PDF documentation, this book is an essential tool in your armoury.

Highly recommended if you are at all serious about VMware vSphere, and well worth the money.

Rama - See all my reviews

This review is from: VMware VSphere Design (Paperback)

I had spent almost 4 years implementing vmware ESX 3/4 but always felt something missing in terms of design perspective and i am glad Scott et al came up with such a nice book. Great work!!

Mr. S. O'Brien (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: VMware VSphere Design (Paperback)

I have been a fan of this author's written style for a while now. The reason I like this book is because it contains nuggets of information relating to a Vsphere deployement to ensure that you will not get caught out.
I am also using this book to study for Vcap-dcd.
You will find information here not contained in vmware white papers and it is nice to read something from somebody who has actually deployed solutions for clients rather than books or white papers which are often based on experience gained in a lab
