5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent!
By @drakpz on July 16, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
If you're looking for technical, precise and comprehensive information about HA, DRS, and Storage DRS, well... This is the book for you. Frank and Duncan use a linear and fluent writing style, with excellent examples and real world scenarios that give you a perfect understanding of the inner logic of all the involved components. Great info on the new features in v5, and how and why some things have radically evolved (e.g. HA).
Loaded with precious tips and detailed information, it's a must have wether you're a clustering newbie or a seasoned vAdmin.
Oh, and what about the money? It's weeeeell worth the price!

5.0 out of 5 starsMust have addition to your tech library
By Greg on July 16, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition
Following on from their vSphere 4. HA/DRS deepdive book Duncan and Frank have followed up with this new book which covers some of the greatest new features VMware have added to or improved in vSphere 5.

I have just finished the kindle of this book and I must say I am very impressed at the way that it is laid out, they topics covered and the level of technical information. The level of information they were able to provide goes beyond what you will ever find in any whitepaper. The use of diagrams illustrate the concepts in a way that words sometimes struggle to. This has always been one of Franks strengths and this book is no exception. I firmly believe that you should consider the colour version of the book as the illustrations have maximum effect, and yes it's worth it.

In this book you'll find the usual suspects such as HA, DRS and DPM but in addition they authors have also included some additional features such as Storage DRS, Storage IO Control, vMotion, Storage vMotion and Resource Entitlements.

I have made a bunch of notes and bookmarks during my first pass of this book. I will no doubt return in a week or so for another read.

A super book and I really recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the concepts in this book, you WONT find better.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe essential guide for everyone who works with VMware vSphere
By Chris Wahl on November 26, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The bar was set high with the VMware vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS Technical deepdive (Volume 1), and this book sets it even higher. If you are in any way working with vSphere 5, even indirectly, this is an essential book to own and read. It contains real world, plain English explanations of the inner workings of vSphere 5 clustering, including charts and diagrams that are impossible to find elsewhere. I have highlighted and flagged much of the information in this book, and find it an excellent desk reference. I also own the Kindle edition for when I'm out and about. The writing style is very open, and friendly, and easy to read.

5.0 out of 5 starsMust Have - Worth Its Weight In Gold
By slaclair on August 3, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
In case the other raving reviews were not sufficient I will backup what the others have said. Written in the same clarity and technical depth as the 4.1 HA/DRS book, this book is an absolute must have.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn essential read for even the most seasoned VMware veterans!
By J. Hakimi on October 20, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
There have been many changes to vSphere5 from the previous versions. This book combined with Duncan's previous book (HA and DRS Deepdive for vSphere 4) will keep even the most seasoned VMware Admin, Engineer, Consultant or IT person's interest. There is so much more to learn about this wonderful product we call vSphere. This is just the start of many publisings from various authors and without a doubt, this is a great start to get a grasp of the newly designed HA and Clustering in vS5!

5.0 out of 5 starsindispensable reference: salient, smart, clear, & fun
By prinskinner on May 25, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is one of the top VMware vSphere references, well worth the price. It covers a large amount of useful material in detail, with no fluff. It's very well written, _much_ better than the average tech book, and the illustrations are illuminating. I work with this material frequently, and this is an essential reference document. Much has changed with vSphere 5, and this book shows the new nitty gritty details, many of which are counter-intuitive. It's also an engaging and frankly enjoyable read. The Kindle edition is excellent, especially with full colors on an iPad. I know and work with Duncan and Frank, and I'm pleased to see that their intelligence, knowledge, good sense and enthusiasm saturate this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsA must-have book for your technical library
By Massimiliano Mortillaro on October 2, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Following the purchase and read of VMware vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS technical deepdive on my Kindle, I was curious to see which changes would be brought around by the introduction of vSphere 5. After downloading a preview of VMware vSphere 5 Clustering Technical Deepdive I estimated that the amount of changes between both versions was really significant and well worth the investment.

The book is clearly written, a special emphasis has been made on making it understandable even for professionals like me who use vSphere daily yet do not manage huge production environments. The book goes to great lengths to explain all possible scenarios and I found answers to all my questions. Not only sections cover HOW the technology works, but the authors go as far as explaining the way the algorithms are working, which will satisfy the curiosity of everyone.

Finally, as a cherry on top of the cake, the graphs and workflows are done with great taste and are pleasant to look at (The DPM throttle one is great!). Kindle owners such as me may find them a bit dull on grayscale compared to what I've seen of the color printed version on Duncan Epping's blog.

A great, concise and useful technical book, that every virtualization administrator/architect should own.
