Book Review: Virtualization: A Manager’s Guide


Book Review: Virtualization: A Manager’s Guide by Dan Kusnetzky: Publisher- O'Reilly: ISBN- 13: 978-1449306458

First I am thankful of O’Reilly of providing me free copy of book before publication.

As title of book suggests, this book is not for techie. This thoughts is further reinforced by intended audience section of book.

Virtualization: A Manager’s Guide is pretty short and very lucid and easy read. Book covers virtualization model developed by author ( or his company) which seems to be pretty good.

The definition of virtualization given by book “Virtualization can create the artificial view that many computers are a single computing resource or that a single machine is really many individual computers” is very correct as most of the definition ignore the many computer part.

I am not going to keep this book in not bookshelf as this lacks technical rigor but certainly it is useful for someone who is not very technical but faces technical staff.

Disclaimer: I did not get paid to review this book, and I do not stand to gain anything if you buy the book. I have no relationship with the publisher or the author.
