Announcing our New Crowd-Sourced vSphere Design Pocket Guide

I am pleased to announce the availability of our new book, ‘vSphere Design Considerations.’ It’s a crowd-sourced, pocket guide of tweet-length design considerations for VMware vSphere. This book is unique in terms of its format and that it provides infrastructure design considerations from the global aspect of the VMware community!

Frank Denneman designed he concept of the book and I was fortunate to be included along with Duncan Epping, Cormac Hogan and Jason Nash to help contribute to and review the submitted content. The book is great and is available for free from PernixData. If you’re attending VMworld, stop by their booth (#2011) from 4-5pm to receive a copy.

Not attending VMworld or unable to make it to the PernixData booth, no problem. You can pre-order an electronic copy of the Vsphere Design book here.

I’d like to thank all who contributed, your contributions were great, you made the selection process very difficult! Look for a Twitter list of the contributors soon:
