VMware Press announced

Duncan Epping · May 18, 2011 ·

The cat is finally out of the bag, VMware Press was just officially announced.

Indianapolis, IN – May 19, 2011 – Pearson, the world’s leading learning company, and VMware, the global leader in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, today announced VMware Press, a newly created technical imprint that will serve as VMware’s official publishing entity. The newly formed press will provide a suite of virtualization technology and certification products in multiple languages and formats.

Three books have been announced and I can honestly say that I am especially looking forward to Mostafa’s book on Storage Design. Mostafa is, in my opinion, THE storage guru within VMware and I confident this will be a must read. Mike Laverick doesn’t need an introduction and everyone has hopefully read at least one of his books. The third book is kind of a surprise to me, Cody “mr brown bag” Bunch tackling vSphere automation with Orchestrator!

In this technology deep dive book, expert architect Mostafa Khalil teaches everything an administrator or architect needs to know about design, management and storage maintenance in the vSphere 5.0 virtual environment, including detailed procedures and guidelines, architectural design elements, best practices, common configuration details, and more.

Administering VMWare SRM 5.x Administering VMware SRM 5.x

In this practical and technical guide to installing and configuring VMware’s Site Recovery Manager 5.0, expert Mike Laverick takes readers through set-ups for multiple vendors, disaster recovery, common pitfalls and errors, while along the way explaining why things happen, and how to fix them.

Automating Day-to-Day Administration of VMware vSphere 5.x Automating Day-to-Day Administration of VMware vSphere 5.x
by Cody Bunch • Technology Hands-On • Fall 2011 

This hands-on technical guide to automating vSphere with Orchestrator teaches administrators how to save time and resources by automating their virtual infrastructure. Automation expert Cody Bunch teaches valuable practices and tool use through a combination of real world automation examples and case studies.

I feel this is a huge step forward and hope that each of these books will be best sellers on VMware Press. I am confident many more great books will be published, and as mentioned on the VMware Press website, if you have a good idea contact them…
