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.

The idea of green computing has generated a lot of interest in quite a few organizations. The marketing money that VMware has been throwing at it is actually quite impressive. A quick trip to VMware's website, and one can easily see that green computing is a primary focus for them. Anyone who has been out to their Palo Alto location knows that they spent a lot of money building an entirely energy efficient 5-building campus...and it is a beautiful campus at that. I've done quite a bit of research in this area, and one of the disturbing trends that I have seen is that "Green Computing" or "Lower Power Consumption" is extremely low on everyone's virtualization priority list.

Most intelligent men would not state this, but I was fortunate enough to have my wife spending a week in Spain visitng her sister. This allowed me to pull a few late nighters and not only finish racking and cabling all the servers, but also custom cut and run all network cables (those that I could unplug for now anyways). To top if all off, I even got all 5 of my PE 1435's configured with various hypervisors. |
