Free vSphere Book

Noooooo. Not my book! McGraw-Hill aren’t that generous a publisher. Instead I speak of a free NetApp/vSphere book. It currently retails on lulu.com for $15.99 plus shipping. Anyway, over on the Virtual Storage Guy website they have 1,000 copies of the book to give away for free – for the first folks with a US/Canada shipping address.

Here’s a bit of blurb:

Ensure your VMware vSphere on NetApp deployment delivers the highest performance, functionality, and storage efficiencies. This book will cover all basis including ESX/ESXi storage connectivity with FC, iSCSI, FCoE, and NFS; and array configurations including data deduplication and optimal datastore/Virtual Machines layouts. The Second edition highlights new vStorage capabilities and integrations available to VI admins with the NetApp vCenter plug-ins.

The book registers at just under 26,000 words and runs 124 pages and the authors of book are employees of NetApp and Cisco.

If you want a copy you have to head off here – pretty darn quick!
