This book helps IT professionals plan, design, deploy, and test full infrastructure designs using virtualization technologies like VMware vSphere and VMware Horizon View. The authors explore the design process through a case study and provide examples of architecture design, installation, validation, and operations. They analyze design choices and present best practices for ensuring customers understand infrastructure designs.

1. The first book in the IT Architect series helps aspiring and experienced IT
infrastructure architects, infrastructure administrators, and those pursuing
infrastructure design certifications establish a solid foundation in the art of
infrastructure design.
The three authors hold multiple certifications, including the VMware Certified
Design Expert, and they call upon their combined decades of experience in
administration, design, and education in technology to help you plan, design,
deploy, and test a full infrastructure design solution.
Starting with the methodology behind infrastructure design, they explore the
design process through a case study that highlights a company that wants to
support datacenter and desktop solutions using virtualization technologies.
They provide examples of the architecture design, installation, validation, and
operations using VMware vSphere and VMware Horizon View and analyze the
design choices along with alternative options.
Creating a design is critical, but presenting your design for acceptance requires
additional skills to ensure that customers understand your choices, and the
authors walk you through how to do this step by step.
Filled with charts, graphs, and data, this reference will be one you refer to time
and again as you develop a solid foundation in the art of infrastructure design.
