Another year, another VMware "Call for Papers" for a VMworld event. Year after year I due my diligence and fill out the paperwork with new and exciting ideas that would provide significant value to anyone willing to sign up and attend my sessions. Year after year I am turned down. For me, I have several reasons why I'm sure I get denied. I work for an independent software vendor, I talk about things with a different perspective than VMware would like to push as their corporate message, etc. But this rant isn't about me...

As promised, I am now notifying the world that the book is FINALLY available for Pre-Order on Amazon.com. According to Amazon, who has a better estimate directly from the distributor than I do, the book is set to ship on July 15. To Pre-Order, head on over to Amazon. To help keep this site updated in the future with technology and book updates (both of which will be on their way), feel free to click on any of the links (including my 30 second hack-job of the book image above) and order through my Amazon Associates link. Once again, thank you to everyone for their patience while we provide the best virtualizaiton book available.

 As reported last week in my update, we were anticipating sending the final version of the book to the printer this week. Well, as of Wednesday, June 11th, we have officially gone to the printer! What this means is that the printer will schedule the printing and binding of the book and have it sent straight to the distributor upon completion. The distributor is then responsible for sending it to retailers such as Amazon , Borders, Chapters, or any other outlet that will be providing it directly to the customer.

UPDATE: I JUST got an email from the publisher with the following information: I just talked to Brian, and we outlined the final steps of the process to get this book printed. Our goal is to have this thing wrapped up and at the printer by next Friday (6/6)
This means we are about 5-6 weeks out from this showing up at people's doors and it will be available for actual order soon. I've been flooded with emails lately, as have friends of mine who are simply associated with the book for reasons of technical editing or they simply know me very well. I know I've said it before and you are probably sick of hearing it, but we are close to done. The content has been completed for some time. Anyone who read the first book knows that we had a LOT of grammatical errors in it, and it took quite a bit of time to clean that up this time around. Throw Mike Laverick into the mix, and heaven help the person that needs to edit this thing. It's still not perfect, but will be significantly better than the first book.

I had the opportunity to put together a presentation on the challenges of monitoring a virtual infrastructure and have been delivering it for about 2 months now with some very good success (especially in Oslo). Naturally, the presentation has a marketing twist towards Quest, but as with any presentation I do, I provide a LOT of valuable information that can be used in real life...whether or not you buy any software.
