Used this book as well as downloaded the software. Very good book to get to know Xenserver. I recommend it, I passed the Citrix exam with a 100 percent.

As the author says in the preface of this manual, "The book starts by providing an overview of the XenServer platform and Resource Pool concepts...then dives deep into topics such as virtual machine creation and management, management of XenServer memory and networking, snapshots, and High Availability features and monitoring."According to me the strength of this book is without doubt the presence of numerous "practical examples covering typical tasks related to virtual infrastructure management." These tasks, explained step by step by the author, cover almost 99% of the daily activities of a XenServer administrator, so I can say this book is an excellent starting point for learning about XenServer, whether you don't know anything about virtualization, both for those are already familiar with other hypervisors, like VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, and wants test / learn even XenServer.
