VMware vSphere 6.7 Clustering Deep Dive and VDI Design Guide – A Must-Have for Every vSphere Administrator

Every now and then, new “must-have” books are released for VMware vSphere administrators, and this month is no exception. Two new books have hit the shelves that every vSphere administrator should have readily available – the vSphere 6.7 Clustering Deep Dive and VDI Design Guide. These books are packed with valuable knowledge and are a must-read for anyone looking to enhance their skills in vSphere clustering and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

The vSphere 6.7 Clustering Deep Dive is the fifth version of this comprehensive guide, covering all aspects of vSphere clustering. Written by Frank Denneman, Duncan Epping, and Niels Hagoort, this book clocks in at an impressive 566 pages, making it a real brick of knowledge. The book covers a wide range of topics, including stretched clusters or vSphere Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC), which is an entire use-case with requirements and constraints, as well as a real-world implementation scenario. This chapter alone is worth the cost of the book!

The VDI Design Guide, written by Johan van Amersfoort (The Bearded VDI Junkie), is a must-have for anyone looking to virtualize their desktops and end-user applications. Based on the VMware VCDX methodology, this book guides you through the many potential pitfalls when it comes to virtualizing your desktops and end-user applications, serving as a great go-to reference. The real-world scenarios presented in the book make for an excellent learning experience.

Both books are packed with valuable information and are well worth the investment. The vSphere 6.7 Clustering Deep Dive is an essential resource for anyone looking to master vSphere clustering, while the VDI Design Guide is a must-have for anyone looking to virtualize their desktops and end-user applications. These books are not just useful resources but also serve as a great reference for when you need to troubleshoot issues or plan for future upgrades.

The vSphere 6.x Deep Dive Resource Kit, which includes both books, is an essential resource for every vSphere administrator out there. These books are not just useful resources but also serve as a great reference for when you need to troubleshoot issues or plan for future upgrades. The winner when it comes to the longest book title, by far, is the VDI Design Guide, which is an impressive 420 pages long!

In conclusion, these two books are must-haves for every vSphere administrator out there. They cover a wide range of topics and provide invaluable knowledge on vSphere clustering and VDI. So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and purchase your copies now and start enhancing your skills as a vSphere administrator!
