VMware Best Practices

Everyone loves the best practice guides.   We all read them and design around them.  If you want to really learn about products spend some time reading best practices then prove why they are best practices.   This page is deticated to current VMware best practices.  If you see a guide missing let me know.  I will update the links to the current version when new ones are released
