File Size: 9.24 Mb

Description

This book is a comprehensive introduction to VMware vSphere 4. It gives you the information you need to plan, install, and manage a vSphere virtual infrastructure. The book covers the most common elements of vSphere and how to make them work for you. While you’re welcome to read this book from cover to cover, each chapter sticks to a specific topic, making the book a reference guide as well. Chapters are further divided into sections, so you can quickly get to the information you need.

This book isn’t a vSphere manual. In fact, it’s the vSphere anti-manual, meant to give you as much or as little information as you need about vSphere in plain English, without all the mumbo-jumbo and limited use of TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms).

There are no exams or quizzes, so you don’t need to memorize the contents of this book. Put what you use from this book into your head, and leave the rest right here between the pages. If you need to look something up, you should have no problem finding this bright yellow book in your desk drawer. The whole point of the For Dummies series is to help you find the information you need to figure something out and get you back to your life.
