BEST BUY., 2006-04-23
I would recommend this book to any network, systems, or server administrator, even if obtaining the certification is not desired. This is one of the most precious resources I have in my bookshelf. Aside from its fine organization, the book states the learning objectives for each chapter and complements them with vivid graphical representation wherever possible to ensure understanding by readers.
I strongly recommend having this as a quick reference guide as every single topic has been taken up and discussed with utmost simplicity. You don't have to be a Rocket Scientist to grasp logics of the topics. 100% value for my money.
Thanks again for coming up with this wonderful work of its kind on such a topic.

A book must refer by every Sys Admin., 2006-01-30
happen to read this book at one of my friend's place. I couldn't resist to buy it immediately. I have been working as System Administrator for last 8 years, but found all aspect required for Data Center operations from scratch. Various topics covered, like power requirement or Air conditioning to Server performance, networking with storage technologies in impressive manner with excellent style of subject presentation.
This book is an asset for Data center managers or Systems Administrators also can be used from Academic point of view by Computer informations systems students.
