Eric Siebert has been working with computers for more than twenty-five years. For the last fifteen years his main focus has been the administration of Windows server environments and supporting enterprise applications such as Web, email, and database servers. Five years ago he discovered virtualization technology in the form of VMware ESX and has been hooked ever since, spending countless hours learning the product inside and out. He now spends much of his time helping others in VMware's community support forums, having achieved Guru status and become one of the forum's moderators. Eric's own web site, vsphere-land.com, is where he shares his tips and experiences as well as hundreds of links to technical information and top 10 lists on a variety of subjects. Additionally, Eric writes tips and blogs for Tech Target on sites such as searchvmware.com, searchservervirtualization.com, and searchdatabackup.com. He is one of the 300 vExperts named by VMware for 2009, author of the book VI3 Implementation and Administration (Prentice Hall, 2009), past VMworld speaker, and frequent Best of VMworld awards judge.
