The shipment is fast, I made an order in Singapore and received the delivery from US the fourth day. The book was in good condition, I had a shared one in our team, I bought this one for my own reference book.

It is obvious that the author has put a lot of effort into writing this book and it shows. It is amazing the breadth of information that he covers.
If I had to add something for improvement it would be more samples of basic things like a VM build for a SQL Server from start to finish using the new vSphere 4 features. Disk setup, type, adapters, etc...
All in all this a great book that i can highly recommend. Not only is it very informative but it is also easy to read. I hope he creates more like on using the included backup, or 3rd party tools, or situational like what to do if a host isn't responding but the VMs are still running fine.

A great read!

I have always been fond of Sybex books. This one is no exception. My experience with virtualization and VMware is nill. So I need a good book to start with. There are not a lot of books on VMware vSphere 4. The choice of this book was not hard, the preview looked good and when the book arrived it proved to be a good choice. I do recommend this book to everyone who wants to start with the subject.

Funny thing is that when I order the book from the US trough Amazon, it is about 40% cheaper than at a local store here in Holland.

Excellent Book! I would highly recommend it to anyone needing to get a good foot-hold on the VMware vSphere concepts from a real world prespective. Scott Lowe understands "virtualization" very well, and presents the vSphere product in a very articulate manner. I was able to pass the VCP-410 exam first try using this book.
