A look inside the upcoming vSphere clustering book

39 sec read

I just received the second proof copy of the new book and I’m really (really) stoked about the book. The full color print is awesome and truly adds that special feeling to the book.
I’m so excited how the diagrams turned out, that I must share some pictures of the inside of the book.




(For the CSI-fan’s, yes I have blurred some text fields as they contain NDA material)
Besides the diagrams, the whole interior is redesigned. The spread is reviewed, inner and outer margins are adjusted and we even taken the gutter space into account, providing a better and nicer reading experience.
We decided that we are going to offer the book in Full color format and a (full-color) ebook. After seeing the full-color version, we believe publishing a black and white version will not do the content any justice.And due to time constraints we cannot invest time in offering a black and white version of the book.
We are still finalizing the book but we hope to provide the possibility of pre-ordering near the publish date. Stay tuned for more information!

  1. Please have the text as Justified so the indentation look nice. Just a thought. End of the lines are off in each paragraph which is not looking sober.

    1. The text will be justified, but as we are still in the process of creating, we align it to the left. As editing justified text is just a nightmare

  2. But forgot to mention, once again Great work from both of you guys. Really invaluable contribution for the Virtual Community. Duncan and Frank – Good Luck!

  3. Looks great Frank (and Duncan). Can’t wait to order it.
    I really like the full color, just as the vCloud Director book. It’s really justifies all dollars we have to pay extra…
    Great you guys spend so much of your (limited) time creating these great knowledge books.

  4. I’m looking forward to your next book! It looks like this is going to be even more amazing than the first – great work!

  5. Congrats guys! I love a book that looks neat and tidy. Looking forward to a good read.

  6. I prefer a colored book ๐Ÿ˜‰ a little more money no problem
    colored books like when we were child ๐Ÿ˜‰

  7. This is what IT has needed for decades…succinct, to-the-point books that can be used in the real world. I bought the HA book…excellent resource for anyone supporting vSphere environments….can’t wait to buy this one.

  8. Am really looking forward to it! Duncan and your DRS/HA book is fantastic. I use it all the time, and tell as many people as I can about it. …If I can prove how many referrals led to a sale, could I whinge an autographed copy of your upcoming book from you? ;0>
