Very good technology overview, good coverage, but needs urgent and continuing updating...This book explains clearly "the technology behind virtualization... knowing what's going on under the hood can help....plan and implement virtualization systems....better understanding of what's in store for the future of virtualization....".It covers "VMware" and "Microsoft" products at "introductory" level.Addition in future-editions, chapters on "Citrix Systems (Xen)" and any other emerging-ones, would complete the coverage of the whole field.I found the book extremely useful for a beginner at the introductory level.
The book arrived in a timely manner based on the type of shipping I selected. Also it arrived in good condition.The book itself is very interesting, if you like to learn about virtual operating systems, then this is a good place to start.
Too many chapters are specific to particular virtualization products and vendors (never KVM/qemu). Some chapters are agnostic and can be generalized to apply to other products (kvm/qemu).
Not only is the book dated, but also the book lacks logical flow to help students make sense of the information in a way that they will retain.
This book covers a lot of details that involve vm player, and other operation systems that are included. Most servers are cover in here also!
