My tips were published in a book called “vSphere Design Pocketbook.”

The book has to the point guidance on building VMware vSphere, without any fluff.

Those at VMworld 2013 got a print copy.

Thank you to the panel: Frank Denneman, Duncan Epping, Cormac Hogan, Jason Nash & Vaughn Stewart who picked me from 500+ entries. Here is how the process transpired:

I was surprised to learn that the submissions I considered to be my best were not picked. Instead, entries in the areas of vCenter design and vSphere cluster design were selected.

I had a chance to meet Frank Denneman at VMworld 2013 and he signed my book. Thank you Frank for wonderful advice on being Social — I am relatively new to the  trade and this was a major success. I am learning from the masters.

I also met Duncan Epping, Cormac Hogan and Vaughn Stewart. Unfortunately, I could not track down Jason Nash – maybe another time.

Here is me with Duncan Epping  at VMworld 2013 holding the book — star struck.
