Couverture de l’ouvrage The essential guide to storage area networks

SAN technology: the complete overview for every decision-maker.

  • Broad, up-to-the-minute coverage: concepts, standards, applications, vendors, ROI, and much more.
  • System planning, design, architecture, implementation, testing, installation, deployment, management, and maintenance.
  • Includes in-depth coverage of SAN applications in high-availability systems.
SANs allow companies to manage accelerating amounts of data more effectively than ever before. But SANs are also extremely complex. Finally, theres a readable, start-to-finish overview that gives business and IT professionals all the guidance they need to make intelligent decisions about SAN technology: planning, implementation, management, and beyond. Leading network consultant John Vacca begins by reviewing each type of SAN technology, the SAN vendor community (including SAN service providers), and current and anticipated SAN standards. He offers in-depth guidance on cost-justifying, planning, and designing SANs, including detailed coverage of scalability, high availability, and virtual storage area networks for mission-critical Web applications. Next, Vacca presents in-depth coverage of testing, rollout, performance certification, day-to-day management, and maintenance. The book presents a full section on current and future SAN applications, as well as six detailed appendices -- ranging from product and vendor lists to a case study covering streaming SANs in action.

John Vacca is an information technology consultant and author of 24 technology books, including The Cabling Handbook, Second Edition and MCSE: Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Systems Management Server 2 (PH PTR). Formerly a computer security official for NASAs International Space Station, he was a security consultant for the recently released MGM movie AntiTrust. He is based in Pomeroy, OH.
