We use this book as a point of reference. It is very easy to read and provides real world examples.

This is great book that really gets down to the nitty and gritty details of VI3. The book does a decent job as a training manual for VMware's VI3, but mostly it is just a reference manual, a very comprehensive reference manual. br / br /In regards to the book itself, the book is an awkward shape and size. It's smaller then most books in height and especially width (the book is a little skinny). I would have liked the book to be a more standard format (9x6.6/9x7), maybe then there would be fewer pages and the book would be easier to handle and read. Also then it would fit on the bookshelf next to the other books much better.
Playbook and an interesting read October 12, 2008

I bought the previous revision of this book when I stepped into my first VMware environment consisting of two SANs, six hosts, and a lot of questions. It was fairly insightful but lacked enough support of VI3.5. Now that I am running a global VM infrastructure with 3.5 throughout, it was time to upgrade the text. I was not disappointed. I have essentially based the new production farms' configs on examples from this book (tweaked for our environment) but the underlying logic has earned several compliments from VMware support. br / br /For those of you who enjoy reading about technology in bed before embarking on a new adventure, this one actually comes along on pleasure trips as well. It's fun.

I waited for months to be able to purchase the VI3 ATDG once I first heard good reviews of the first version of the book from two VMware employees. However, I was unfortunately somewhat disappointed when I received the book and began reading. The book does cover most of VMware VI3 topics; though the authors took a very high level approach where items are quickly brushed over and you are left with the feeling that this book really isn't an "advanced" design guide but more of an addition to what you would receive in official VMware training. I also found the book to be poorly edited as there were numerous spelling and grammatical problems throughout the entire book--to the point it was distracting when reading. All in all, I do have to give the book 3-stars as it would be valuable to someone who was going to be implementing VMware VI3 without previous training. If you have taken VMware courses on VI3, save your money and continue using the material in your course books.
