Praise for VMware VI3 Implementation and Administration
“With this book, Eric has created a roadmap through the intricacies of VMware Infrastructure
3. From initial requirements gathering to advanced configuration topics, the logical progres-
sion of the chapters allows readers to jump in at whatever point makes the most sense in
their own environment. Beginners and veterans alike will find themselves using it as both a
guide and a reference.”
—Mark Chandler, Infrastructure Engineer Principal,
VMware Certified Professional and vExpert 2009
“Through his work at Boston Market, his involvement as a community moderator on the
VMTN forums, his management of his own vmware-land.com website, and his active blog-
ging, Eric Siebert has established himself as an expert in the field of virtualization. In this
book, he shares his knowledge of VMware virtualization in a manner that will benefit the
novice and the expert alike.”
—Ken Cline, Technical Director, Virtualization, Wells Landers
“Eric’s book takes the new VMware administrator by the hand and slaps the seasoned admin-
istrator upside the head. He does a great job of covering everything from capacity planning to
infrastructure monitoring, all the while explaining the pros and cons that only an experi-
enced virtualization implementer could provide.”
—Rich Brambley, Virtualization Consultant,
owner and sole contributor of http://vmetc.com blog
“This is another great chance to learn about VMware virtualization techniques from a well-
informed seasoned professional. This book is great for someone who is starting out with a
VMware infrastructure as well as a seasoned professional looking to reinforce preexisting
knowledge.”
—Stephen Beaver, Virtualization Evangelist, Tripwire
“I have read hundreds of articles by Eric Siebert and always wished that I could have them in
a single book. That wish has finally come true. In Eric’s VMware VI3 Implementation and
Administration book, he covers VI up and down, inside and out, like only Eric can. It’s the ulti-
mate VMware VI manual.”
—David Davis, VCP, vExpert, and author of the
VMware ESX Video Training Course from www.TrainSignal.com
VMware VI3 Implementation and Administration educates even the most experienced VI admin-
istrator and should be part of every (virtual) toolkit!”
—Duncan Epping, Senior Consultant, VMware; virtualization blogger, Yellow-Bricks.com

“This book is a very well-written, comprehensive field guide that does a fantastic job of tak-
ing the reader across the entire lifecycle of a virtualization deployment—walking through the
background information, the planning stages, and then the actual implementation itself—and
it then wraps things up nicely by providing the help and the knowledge necessary to properly
maintain and troubleshoot the virtual environment once it goes live. The advantage of read-
ing a book like this from an author who is a subject matter expert and who obviously has
years of hands-on experience with the technology is that you can quickly and easily identify
the problem areas and technology gaps before you have to experience them first hand; and
you can avoid those common pitfalls and gotchas that others have had to go through in their
own journeys.”
—David Marshall, owner, VMBlog.com
“As an experienced VMware certified instructor, I’m involved in delivering VMware courses
on a daily basis. I know how important it is to keep your students involved in a course. When
you start reading this book, I can assure you, you will read it from A to Z. In the past three
years I’ve seen lots of books. Eric Siebert did a great job with this one. He was able to write
up topics varying from ‘installing’ and ‘advanced configuration’ in a clear and understandable
way and put them together in this book. VMWare VI3 Implementation and Administration is…a
must-read for every VMware believer.”
—Eric Sloof, NTPRO.NL
VMware VI3 Implementation and Administration is a practical and informative guide on how to
get started building a VMware Virtual Infrastructure. Eric Siebert has done a wonderful job
explaining in a step-by-step approach (including screen shots) how to accomplish administra-
tive tasks on the latest VMware virtualization software. This book will be a handy guide for
beginning VMware administrators to implement VMware best practices to avoid problems
and enhance the performance and security of their virtual machines.”
—George Vish, Senior Education Consultant
