Summary: Not a captivating read, but a good introduction
Comment: Okay, this is not a book you'd take to the beach. If you think it is, you're just strange. Anyways, someone gave this book to me because he didn't need it anymore, and learned that I setting up a server for stress testing. Not being an expert in capacity planning, this provided a good introduction to what some of the expectations were to setting up a server environment.
This book is not too readable; it lacks fluidity, and is sometimes repetitive. Of course, what would anyone expect from this type of book? One gripe I have with this book is that it's a little too skewed towards to overall management, as opposed to more technical aspects. For example, it concentrates on how to file a problem ticket more than monitoring network statistics.
This book gives a good idea on how the process works to set up a plan and how to monitor parts of the system. It doesn't delve to deep into commands, specific examples, and goes in too deep for some parts (like disk capacity), but not too deep into other parts (like memory).
It's worth reading, it's a good overview, and it's a template for the few who need to set-up the system. It won't help as technical reference, or help you once you're in front of the computer however.
