Two nice new resources from us are now available in the VMware Communities: one on esxtop statstics, and the other on VMFS best practices. (See all the community documents here.) I do not know if these will show up in our white paper directory at some point. Hmm, Rod may be right — there are many places to find technical resources at VMware, and we need to make sure people can find what they need. I will do some asking about internally. Hat tips to Tom and Arne for pointng them out.

Scott Drummond[s] of
VMware has just created a document of the forums that details the
Esxtop command, you can find it here Interpreting esxtop Statistics
this looks like a detailed piece of work that somebody has needed to do
for a while
VMware: VMFS Best Practices « ICT-Freak.nl.
This paper gives a technology overview of VMFS, including a discussion
of features and their benefits. The paper highlights how VMFS
capabilities enable greater scalability and decreased management
overhead. It also provides best practices and architectural
considerations for deployment of VMFS.
