This week’s exclusive sneak peek of a book is VMware ESX Server in the Enterprise: Planning and Securing Virtualization Servers, by Edward L. Haletky, published by Prentice Hall. Haletky recently left HP, where he worked in the Virtualization, Linux, and High-Performance Technical Computing teams to start up AstroArch Consulting, providing virtualization, security, and network consulting and development. Haletky’s is guest blogging for Cisco Subnet – check out his blog here. We’ll also be giving away 15 copies of his books next month – watch this space for details on that.
Here’s the Prentice Hall blurb of the book:
VMware ESX Server in the Enterprise is the definitive, real-world guide to planning, deploying, and managing today’s leading virtual infrastructure platform in mission-critical environments.
Drawing on his extensive experience consulting on large-scale ESX Server implementations, Edward L. Haletky brings together an unprecedented collection of tips, best practices, and field-tested solutions. More than any other author, he illuminates the real issues, tradeoffs, and pitfalls associated with ESX Server–and shows how to make the most of it in your unique environment.
Haletky covers the entire lifecycle: planning, installation, system monitoring, tuning, clustering, security, disaster recovery, and much more.
