About the authors

Andrea Mauro has 20 years of experience in IT, both in industry and the academic world. He currently works as a solution architect at Assyrus (an Italian IT company). He is responsible for infrastructure implementation, architecture design, upgrades, and migration processes.

He is a virtualization and storage architect, specializing in VMware, but also Microsoft, Citrix, and Linux solutions. His first virtualized solution in production was built around ESX 2.x several years ago.

His professional certifications include several VMware certifications (VCP-DCV, vSAN Specialist, VCIX-DCV, VCIX-NV, VCDX-DCV), but also other vendor-related certifications. He is also a VMware vExpert (2010-18), Nutanix NTC (2014-18), and Veeam Vanguard (2015-18).

I would like to thank my wife and my son for their patience (this book has taken a lot of my free time for three long months), my friends from VMUG.IT for their support, and my co-author (Paolo) for his support, without whom this book would not have been possible.

Paolo Valsecchi has more than 20 years, experience in the IT industry, and he currently works as a system engineer mainly focused on VMware vSphere, Microsoft technologies, and backup/DR solutions. His current role involves covering all the tasks related to ensuring IT infrastructures' availability and data integrity (implementation, upgrade, and administration).

He holds the VMware VCP5/6.5-DCV and Veeam VMCE professional certifications, and he has been awarded the VMware vExpert title (2015-18) and the Veeam Vanguard title (2016-18).

I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and help with finalizing the project. The patience they had during the writing of this book was a constant encouragement in the last tough months, and it made this book possible. A big thanks to my co-author, Andrea, for involving me in a fascinating challenge like this, providing me the opportunity to improve my experience as author and also as technician.
