"Very thorough but extremely approachable" - by Bimal Kharel on 29-NOV-2011
Reviewer Rating:
This is a book I will surely get a hard copy of because it is not only a great text but also a good reference for best practices and pays attention to some smaller details that can have a large impact in the long run and when virtualization is implemented on a larger scale.
