Jason Ventresco is a 17 year veteran of the IT field, and currently works for EMC2 as a Consultant Solutions Engineer. In that role he architects, builds, and tests the latest end user computing solutions to validate their performance and provide guidance to EMC2 customers and partners.
Jason previously worked as a member of the Global Infrastructure team for FHI 360, and as an IT consultant for WorkSmart and Xerox Global Services. Jason previously published the books Implementing VMware Horizon View 5.2, VMware Horizon View 5.3 Design Patterns and Best Practices, and VMware Horizon View 6 Desktop Virtualization Cookbook.
Jason lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife, Christine, and daughter, Amanda. He holds two degrees, a Master of Science in Information Assurance from Norwich University, and a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from the University of Phoenix. In his free time, he likes to travel, go boating, and attend Carolina Hurricanes games.
I would like to thank my wife, Christine, and daughter, Amanda, for their ongoing support. Writing books requires sacrificing family time, and without their support none of this would be possible.
I would also like to thank my parents, Richard and Linda Ventresco, for providing me with the opportunities they did when I was growing up; they helped make me what I am today. I love you Mom and Dad!
I would also like to thank my fellow EMC Solutions co-workers both here in the US and in China. Working with them has helped provide me with the experience and knowledge required to write multiple books like this.
