Anyone who intends to be in the technology business for long requirements to be prepared with the blade server advantage.
The purpose of this book is to demystify blades. To cut through the technicalities and the complications, and to understand what really matters about blade server technology. It is complete with examples, quotes, customer references, simplified explanation on key technologies - thus making the content easy to understand, grasp and recall.
Reader ReviewsThe cover used the words "Comprehensive" and "Technology". This book is mostly marketing fluff. It seems to be intended for sales people, to help them sell Blade Technology. If you are an IBM server sales person or reseller, this book might be of use. If not, you probably want to pass. This is the most disappointing book I have ordered.
