Acknowledgments

I'd like to thank Aidan Dalgleish of VMware for his technical editing and for writing two chapters of this book. Thanks also go to Dan Senior, Brian Keats, and Michael Smith of Colt Technology Services for the involvement in real-world vCloud projects; Stuart Thompson, Martyn Storey, Peter Holditch and David Hill. And a special thanks to Servers Plus, for excellent service in my hour of hardware need; and the entire London VMware User Group for their continued encouragement in the production of this book.

I'd also like to thank the Sybex & Wiley book teams for their patience and diligent efforts in producing this book.
