Customer Reviews & Comments
I bought this book thinking that i would get some good ideas in order to get a little bit more performance from our servers, however once i started reading i could not put it down until 5 hours later. It cuts all the small talk, and it breaks down every topic in an understandable format and teaches you what you really need to know. The section on how to improve DISK performance was great, i implemented many things that i learned from reading this book. Just buy it, you wont regretit. Its a small price to pay for a good piece of mind.
