(They don't - they just have different marketing names.) It says database mirroring, AlwaysOn Availability Groups, and failover clusters fail over in less than three seconds - that's just not realistic. It says you can do vMotion on a database mirror - that's not realistic either, because synchronous mirrors often fail over during long vMotions.Those errors are all on just one page, in one chart, and it just keeps coming.Page 111 says that if you put your log files on local SSDs, you should "have an additional copy on SAN." That's just not even physically possible with SQL Server - you can have two log files, but if either of them fails, your database is down. This concept is possible in Oracle, and the authors' Oracle background keeps showing up throughout the book. They recommend things that work in Oracle, but not in SQL Server.Page 111 also says that Microsoft recommends 1 data file per CPU core and .25 to 1 user database. That was true in 2005-2006, but Microsoft has since released multiple knowledge base articles like KB2154845 that have better guidance.I could go on and on (and in my book review on BrentOzar dot com, I do) but the bottom line is that you should wait for the next revision of this book. The first edition has too many technical problems. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice book *by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2019* Book was as expected with on time delivery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Reference Resource *by D***5 on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2014* This good goes into great depth about the entire virtualization stack as it pertains to Microsoft SQL server. It covers networking, storage, compute, and a whole host of SQL configuration options. While preparing for an upcoming SQL migration and remediation project I found the information extremely useful and relevant. It's a one stop shop for getting the low down on how to make SQL perform well in a VMware environment. If you want to ensure your SQL servers run optimally on VMware vSphere, then get this book and start reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/8100171-virtualizing-sql-server-with-vmware-doing-it-right-vmware-press](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/8100171-virtualizing-sql-server-with-vmware-doing-it-right-vmware-press) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
