Product Description

Product Description
  • Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 allows a single server to be divided into several "virtual machines," each running its own environment and operating system, which can even be virtually networked together
  • Written by a key member of Microsoft′s Virtual Server product team, this guide shows programmers how they can use these virtual machines to keep their development environment separate from their computing environment, test software on a variety of platforms from a single machine, and test networking applications
  • Packed with real–world examples, the book examines how to install Linux under Virtual Server, create VM libraries, tweak performances, troubleshoot installation glitches, and access the Virtual Server COM API
  • Offers a clear explanation of how to best understand virtual devices, networks, and storage systems and handle debugging in virtual machines

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as I expected it to be., 23 April 2007
By Nicholas Kelly "mowingboris" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For several years Ben Armstrong has been an invaluable source of knowledge for the users of Virtual Server. His MSDN weblog is almost required reading for users of Microsoft's virtualisation products. In this book you will find not only the tips and insight regularly found on his blog, but real world labs on all aspects of Virtual server including P2V conversion, scripting and clustering. There are features in this book that I haven't seen documented anywhere else which speaks to the author's deep understanding of his subject. The writing is pretty good too ;-)

Bottom line, if you're using VS2005 in your IT department, this is the book to buy.
