vSphere 4.1 HA/DRS Deepdive promo was a huge hit!

Duncan Epping · May 28, 2012 ·

Thanks to each and everyone of you who took the time to download the vSphere 4.1 HA/DRS Deepdive kindle copy during our promo days. Over 6000 downloads in just 2 days is nothing short of amazing. Frank and I were talking about this promo opportunity a week ago for the 4.1 book and never anticipated on these kind of numbers. We expected a couple of hundred copies to be given away, maybe close to a 1000, but definitely not 6000+. Just some facts about this promo:

  • 175+ retweets of my tweets
  • 600+ tweets
  • 30.000+ people reached
  • 6000+ Kindle copies

We were shocked, we anticipated on a couple of hundred copies, maybe close to a 1000, but never did we anticipate on 6000 kindle copies being downloaded. Thanks to everyone who helped driving this. All the tweets / facebook and G+ mentions helped with this huge success.

    Unfortunately I missed the promo. Not a big deal though, as I already own the 5.0 edition of this book and from my point of view, it’s worth every dime!
    Great work. Thanks to Duncan and Frank.

    I already own the printed copy of the 4.1 edition and both, the printed and Kindle version of 5.0 edition. Great to make the collection complete.
    Very sad that the colored version of 5.0 is no longer available.

    Dear Duncan & Frank, I bought both books on my Kindle and they have been a strong contributor to help me successfully pass the VCP exam. I would recommend readers to check the books on Kindle Cloud Reader to enjoy the beautifully colored graphics on the vSphere 5 Deepdive edition. Congratulations on this huge -and well deserved- success!
