 Nontechnical
Not for an IT Tech person has very little info on the configuration and maintenance of
virtual machines from a Systems Administrator standpoint
 The go-to-book for all things related to Virtualization
This is the best book I have read on Virtualization. It covers everything one needs to know about Virtualization, in a very simple to read and understand manner. This is a must have book for anyone interested in technology, will recommend it to anyone - novice to an expert. I enjoyed reading it and was able to be productive on Virtualization within 30 days.
Great book - especially for an introduction to Virtualization
I never realized how many "flavors" of virtualization are out there, and this book helps identify which options are best suited for our environment. What an eye opener!
The author writes in an easy to follow an understand manner - even a dummy like me can follow along.
The hints and tips and resources and step-by-step instructions are very helpful.
I highly recommend this book - even if you've played with VM before.
The Reference for the Rest of Us!
This is the third "for dummies" book I have read and by far the best written. This" reference for the rest of us" uses a succinct but whimsical and entertaining style with lots of analogy to strengthen points. I really had no prior knowledge on the subject of virtualization, or at least I thought so. Now I realize I had used virtual pc software on my Mac years ago and this book has helped me decide on a virtual windows approach for my new Intel based Apple computer.
Like other "for dummies" books, it completely covers the subject for beginners, but goes into successive levels of detail as you read and you can "skip around" easily. I am a retired analog systems engineer and have no intention of working in the server field. If I did however, this would be a fantastic assist in getting into the subject in a hurry. I would recommend this book for all just interested in learning what virtualization like myself, but especially for managers who must speak the language and evaluate "cost-benefits" of virtualization in their organizations. If you are such a manager, Chapters 15 and 16 are for you as specific project steps and pitfalls are delineated.
There is also plenty of information available for the implementer as well with a full three chapters on installing and configuring VMware, Fedora and XenExpress using actual screen photo graphics for easy guidance.
This is a very impressive book and highly recommended for people ranging from those who just want to speak the language to those whose job it is to implement and manage server architecture. A reference "for the rest of us" delivers!
Real Value on Virtualization
Bernard Golden provides the perfect introduction to virtualization for the IT professional. He starts with a concise yet powerful business case and then proceeds to walk you through the nuts and bolts of realizing the potential value that virtualization can offer to your operation.
I highly recommend his book. His blog on [.....] is also valuable and wryly amusing.
