I'm probably going to buy your book because getting our servers to be managed in a sane way is something I'm slowly trying to drive at our company. But I noticed you mentioned that if you have more than 100 servers then it's not really a great resource for understanding what's going on with the different tools. Where can I gain that perspective?

Hi Dan, It really depends on your situation. Please shoot me an email and we can discuss in more detail: matt@nanobeep.com All of the tools will scale to at least several thousand servers, but they each have slightly different ways of doing it. I'd recommend choosing the tool that makes the most sense for you at your current scale since they all can probably scale to what you need. I mention that the book is for folks with less than 100 servers because I don't go into how to set up these tools for higher scale in the book. So, to get the info on how to scale up to very large pools of servers it'd probably be best to first pick a tool and then look at its specific documentation for scaling up.
