Mike Laverick has created a new RTFM Guide. His latest edition covers all of the new features and enchantments we can find in the ESX 3.5 release. His Guide concludes with : As you can see VMware have once again added new functionality to both ESX and VirtualCenter at no additional “upgrade? cost. Additionally, there has been some significant finessing of existing features which make the administration of VI-3.5 easier. The core product remains the same despite the introduction of DPM, VUM and Guided Consolidation. So anyone reading the VI-3book will still find lots of useful and relevant material between its covers. The authors of the VI-3book will continue to maintain and updates its content as the VMware Infrastructure 3 evolves. These updates will supplied as free PDF files which can be downloaded from VI-3book.com. However, it seems like the next big release for VMware will be VMware Infrastructure 4.
