Practical Virtualization Solutions: Virtualization from the Trenches

Acknowledgments

My thanks go out to Jason Perlow for the use of his basement data center. He spent many long hours setting up infrastructure so that I would have access to VMware ESXi and Microsoft’s Hyper-V. Without Jason’s help, this book wouldn’t exist.

Thank you to Amy Newman who graciously agreed to coauthor this book. She made it better with her fresh perspective and many years of experience in the virtualization space. She was a major force in making it a reality and taking it to completion.

To my mom, whose passing ten years ago makes me wish I hadn’t been such a late bloomer.

I wish to thank my children for putting up with me during the stresses and strains of another book. I’m sorry for the endless hours and loss of quality time ...
