Practical Load Balancing: Ride the Performance Tiger

Acknowledgments

Without question this book would not exist without the love, support, and understanding of my dear wife. I cannot recall the number of times a hot coffee has appeared on my desk or the quiet company she has given me through the long nights staring at my screen wondering why the server suddenly won't talk to me. For all the success and all that I have achieved, the credit lies solely with her.

There is also no doubt in my mind that this book would never have made it had Eelco and Dave not stepped up to the challenge. The energy and passion they poured into the book puts me to shame. Thank you both for making this possible!

A stupendous amount of effort goes into writing a book and a huge amount of work happens behind the scenes. ...
