My first VxRail learning experience was EMC’s VxRail deployment and management back in 2019, it was not sufficient to get started with new technology, I was searched a lot about VxRail related documents, blog articles, etc.. always the author Victor Wu was there with a different set of technical contents about VxRail and he was much interested to share with the community, by the way, we both are part of VMware vExpert community since a long time.Let's talk about this book, as of now I didn’t find any blogs or documents that have this much detailing about VxRail deployment and management briefing, this is the best who is wanted to cross skill with EMC’s VxRail product line. The book covers various topics like VxRail HCI overview, Installation, Administration, Management, VMware vSAN, Upgrading, Scale-out, Active-Passive, and Active-Active solution, Migration from existing platform to VxRail, etc. All the chapters have relevant screenshots so that we are going to get a hands-on kind of experience.After reading this book, I thought to recommend those who wanted to understand and learn more about the VxRail HCI solution. Highly recommended.

Stephen Keohane Jul 11, 2021

The content is extremely descriptive follows a logical pattern and provides plenty of thoughts and considerations outside of just a normal manual. The pictures and illustrations add a great deal to the book and make it more of a VXRail deployment bible with considerations for SRM and stretched clusters. Looking at what Victor has produced it is more like one of the guides of long ago which were so much more in depth. I find that the modern guides from Dell have become far less descriptive and missing so many steps and considerations that people start to guess or have to get further information elsewhere. Victor has managed to pull it all together in a neat guide which is well worth it.

Victor Wu's book on implementing VxRail HCI Solutions is a great guide for administrators starting with VxRail. It follows a step by step approach, explaining all components, and is a great study guide to prepare for the installation and/or administration exams from Dell Technologies (DES-6321 and DES-6322), to attain Specialist certification.After each chapter, there are questions to check if you have understood the information contained in that chapter. It handles virtually all aspects needed for day-to-day management of VxRail clusters. I have given several workshops on VxRail Health and am advising Victor's book to all participants, as study guide and reference material.

Manol Vojka Jul 24, 2022

A very complete book for the entire product itself and all the implementation topics of VxRail have been handled with great care, detailed versions and all technical characteristics of vSAN technology.

Saadallah Chebaro Jun 14, 2021

This is a very good book for people that want hands-on step by step walkthrough of VxRail solutions especially deployment part. Highly recommended.
