Mastering the principals of virtualization is the foundation of a
trouble-free environment. Whether you are just starting out or an
seasoned veteran, Dan Mitchell, VMware vExpert and author of
VMware vSphere for Dummies, will reinforce what it takes to build
a rock solid environment. He will take you through the basics of

vSphere 4.1 HA/DRS Deepdive promo was a huge hit!

by

May 28, 2012

Thanks to each and everyone of you who took the time to download the vSphere 4.1 HA/DRS Deepdive kindle copy during our promo days. Over 6000 downloads in just 2 days is nothing short of amazing. Frank and I were talking about this promo opportunity a week ago for the 4.1 book and never anticipated on these kind of numbers. We expected a couple of hundred copies to be given away, maybe close to a 1000, but definitely not 6000+. Just some facts about this promo:

  • 175+ retweets of my tweets
  • 600+ tweets
  • 30.000+ people reached
  • 6000+ Kindle copies

We were shocked, we anticipated on a couple of hundred copies, maybe close to a 1000, but never did we anticipate on 6000 kindle copies being downloaded. Thanks to everyone who helped driving this. All the tweets / facebook and G+ mentions helped with this huge success.
