New book – Dell VxRail System Design and Best Practices

I am happy to announce that my new book “Dell VxRail System Design and Best Practices” is available to pre-order on the amazon website now. This book contains the different topics, e.g. Veeam and VMware SRM. You can pre-order at the link below if you are interested. This book will publish in Jan 2023.

Book Description

Virtualized systems are well established now, and their disparate components can be found bundled together in hyper-converged infrastructures, such as VxRail from Dell EMC.Dell VxRail System – Design and Best Practices takes you, as a system architect or administrator, through the process of designing and protecting VxRail systems.

We assume a certain level of knowledge of VMware, vSphere 7.x, and vCenter Server, but we’ll give you an overview of VxRail’s components, features, and architecture, and give you an idea of the benefits of this hyper-converged system. This high-level guide will give you a thorough and in-depth understanding of VxRail, and you’ll keep your brain focused with practical examples and self-assessment questions along the way as you plan and design every core component of a VxRail system, from vSAN storage policies to cluster expansion. It’s no good having a great system if you lose everything when it breaks, so we’ll spend some time examining advanced recovery options, such as VMware Site Recovery Manager and Veeam Backup and Replication.

By the end of this book, you will have got to grips with Dell’s hyper-converged VxRail offering, taking your virtualization proficiency to the next level.

Who This Book Is For
