Virtualization Security: Securing VMWare, XenEnterprise, VirtualIron - (Only $37.50)
 Book Reviews: 0 - 
Written by: by Michael T. Hoesing. Authored by one of the few experts on the security issues that are arising from the new virtual computer infrastructures, this book reveals various security issues and provides solutions to avoid them. Offers detailed explanations of implementation and configuration strategies that support a secure environment and describes techniques and tools that may be used to assess the security status of existing installations. Presents the security aspects of a virtualized environment in the areas of network configuration and logical access controls, and then goes on to show the various abilities of popular virtualization tools such as VMWare, XenEnterprise and VirtualIron. Discusses the use of assessment tools (Ecora, Nessus, CIS, LSAT, the author's script). Provides end-of-chapter review questions as well as a course syllabus suitable for professors.

| Advanced Server Virtualization: VMware and Microsoft Platforms in the Virtual Data Center - (Only $69.40)
Book Reviews: 5 - 
Written by David Marshall, Wade A. Reynolds, and Dave McCrory. Executives of IT organizations are compelled to quickly implement server virtualization solutions because of significant cost savings. However, most IT professionals tasked with deploying virtualization solutions have little or no experience with the technology. This creates a high demand for information on virtualization and how to properly implement it in a datacenter. Advanced Server Virtualization: VMware® and Microsoft® Platforms in the Virtual Data Center focuses on the core knowledge needed to evaluate, implement, and maintain an environment that is using server virtualization. This book emphasizes the design, implementation and management of server virtualization from both a technical and a consultative point of view. It provides practical guides and examples, demonstrating how to properly size and evaluate virtualization technologies. This volume is not based upon theory, but instead on real world experience in the implementation and management of large scale projects and environments. Currently, there are few experts in this relatively new field, making this book a valuable resource The book is divided into major sections making it both a step-by-step guide for learning and implementing server virtualization as well as a quick reference. The chapter organization focuses first on introducing concepts and background, and then provides real-world scenarios.

| The Best Damn Server Virtualization Book Period: Including Vmware, Xen, and Microsoft Virtual Server - (Only $59.95)
Book Reviews: 0 -
Written by Rogier Dittner and David Rule. Server Sprawl and escalating IT costs have managers and system administrators scrambling to find ways to cut costs and reduce Total Cost of Ownership of their physical infrastructure. Combining software applications onto a single server, even if those applications are from the same software vendor, can be dangerous and problems hard to troubleshoot. Virtualization allows you to consolidate many servers onto a single physical server reducing hardware, electrical, cooling, and administrative costs. These virtual servers run completely independent of each other so if one crashes the other are not affected. Planning and implementing a server consolidation is a complex process. This book details the requirements for such a project, includes sample forms and templates, and delivers several physical to virtual migration strategies which will save both time and costs. Readers of this book will easily be able to plan and deploy VMware, Microsoft Virtual Server, and Xen.

| Virtualization: From the Desktop to the Enterprise - (Only $47.99)
Book Reviews: 0 -
Written by Chris Wolf and Erick M. Halter. Creating a virtual network gives network administrators a way to maximize the usage of their servers. This will be the only book on the market that outlines how to manage all aspects of virtualization across an enterprise. Other books focus on single aspects of virtualization, without delving into the interrelationships of the technologies. Coverage of all aspects of virtualization, including virtual machines, virtual file systems, clustering, and virtualized storage solutions, will enable readers to understand which virtualization technologies may be right for their environment.

| Blade Servers and Virtualization: Transforming Enterprise Computing While Cutting Costs - (Only $42.30)
Book Reviews: 0 -
Written by: Barb Goldworm and Anne Skamarock. This book teaches you all about: Blade server systems and virtualization are key building blocks for Next Generation Enterprise Data centers. Blades offer modular, pre-wired, ultra high-density servers (up to 10x traditional servers) with shared components (power, cooling, switches) – reducing complexity and cost, and improving flexibility, availability, manageability, and maintainability. Virtualization enables consolidation of physical servers by allowing many virtual servers to run concurrently on one physical server – improving system utilization, reducing the total number of physical servers, reducing costs, and increasing flexibility. This is the first book covering these complementary technologies and how, together, they provide a strong foundation for the future. It examines the history, architectures, features, examples, and user case studies of blade systems and virtualization, and offers guidance and considerations for how to evaluate and implement solutions.

| Storage Virtualization: Technologies for Simplifying Data Storage and Management - (Only $32.60)
Book Reviews: 0 -
Storage virtualization has come of age, offering IT professionals powerful new ways to simplify infrastructure, streamline management, improve utilization, and reduce costs. Now, the author of the best-selling storage books IP SANs and Designing Storage Area Networks presents an up-to-the-minute, vendor-neutral overview of storage virtualization in all its forms.
Writing for IT managers, administrators, architects, analysts, consultants, and vendors, Tom Clark explains everything from the basics to the latest emerging standards. Storage Virtualization uses realistic examples and diagrams to explain each key concept, concluding with case studies that demonstrate real-world implementation and help you assess the technology's business value. Coverage includes:
• The current state of both storage virtualization technologies and the marketplace
• Relationships among files, records, data on disk, and storage interconnections
• Virtualization standards, including the Fabric Application Interface Standard
• How multiple storage systems are abstracted into virtual storage pools
• Host-based virtualization, array-based virtualization, and virtualization appliances
