Free eBooks from Microsoft Press

Microsoft-Free-Ebooks

Microsoft have made available a handful of free-to-download ebooks which provide an introduction and information on some of their enterprise and development products, such as Windows Server, Azure, .NET, etc.  Some of these eBooks don’t contain the same level of technical detail that you’d usually find in your average IT manual (although some of these eBooks, such as the development related topics do) they do provide a enough detail for someone wanting an understanding of the features and functionality found within that particular software product and the associated technology set.

May 10, 2014 / / 0 Comments

VMware vSphere Performance VMware vSphere is the industry’s most widely deployed virtualization solution. However, if you improperly deploy vSphere, performance problems occur. This book is authored by Matt Liebowitz, Christopher Kusek and Rynardt Spies.

  • Divulges troubleshooting methodologies, performance monitoring tools, and techniques and tools for isolating performance problems
  • Details the necessary steps for handling CPU, memory, storage, and network-related problems
  • Offers understanding on the interactions between VMware vSphere and CPU, memory, storage, and network
