Awesome New Book – VMware VI3 Implementation and Administration by Eric Siebert

David Davis — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:36:51 +0000

As you can see from the photo, I just received my copy of Eric Siebert’s new book – VMware VI3 Implementation and Administration. I got an early chance to read part of this book and offer a quote for the praise page. Here’s what I had to say about it:

“I have read hundreds of articles by Eric Siebert and always wished that I could have it in a single book. That wish has finally come true. In Eric’s VMware VI Implementation and Administration book, he covers VI up and down, inside and out, like only Eric can. It’s the ultimate VMware VI manual.”

I was impressed with what I saw then but am even more impressed now that I have the real book, in its entirety, in my hands.

In case you haven’t heard of Eric before, he is a vExpert and real VMware guru who covers VMware VI3 from a very real-world perspective in the book.

You can read more about his book at Eric’s website, VMware-Land.com .
