Beschreibung:
Based on actual experiences with implementing and managing large scale projects and environments, this book emphasizes the design, implementation, and management of a VMware ESX server, offering technical and consultative points of view. Providing practical guides and examples, the chapter organization focuses first on introducing a concept and background for that concept, before providing a real-world scenario on which the planning and implementation example is based. Finally, for more technical readers, the book includes advanced topics and additional resources. It covers the two most popular current releases of 2.5 and 3.0, as well the upcoming 3.1 release.
