Virtualized systems are well established now, and their disparate components can be found bundled together in hyper-converged infrastructures, such as VxRail from Dell EMC. Dell VxRail System Design and Best Practices will take you, as a system architect or administrator, through the process of designing and protecting VxRail systems.While this book assumes a certain level of knowledge of VMware, vSphere 7.x, and vCenter Server, you’ll get a thorough overview of VxRail's components, features, and architecture, as well as a breakdown of the benefits of this hyper-converged system. This guide will give you an in-depth understanding of VxRail, as well as plenty of practical examples and self-assessment questions along the way to help you plan and design every core component of a VxRail system – from vSAN storage policies to cluster expansion. It's no good having a great system if you lose everything when it breaks, so you'll spend some time examining advanced recovery options, such as VMware Site Recovery Manager and Veeam Backup and Replication.By the end of this book, you will have got to grips with Dell’s hyper-converged VxRail offering, taking your virtualization proficiency to the next level.

Many Rust developers run into problems when they try to apply familiar object-oriented or cross-language patterns to Rust projects. These mismatches often lead to confusing compiler errors, awkward workarounds, or brittle code. This book helps you avoid those traps by thinking in Rust and applying idiomatic design patterns that embrace ownership, borrowing, and type safety.The book begins with anti-patterns and common mistakes Rust developers often encounter, including misusing object-oriented thinking, over-relying on Clone, or treating the borrow checker as an obstacle. From there, you’ll explore how to rethink traditional design solutions for Rust, including creational, structural, and behavioral design patterns. You’ll also dive into architectural strategies, type-driven design, and Rust-specific techniques such as TypeState. The final chapter brings these ideas together into a design mindset rooted in idiomatic Rust.By the end of this book, you’ll know how to avoid costly mistakes, apply effective patterns confidently, and design Rust applications that are clean, scalable, and reliable.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase required
