Storage Networks

by Daniel J. Worden

Overview

Storage Networks will appeal to any systems administrator, architect, or manager with large data resources to manage, rather than being based on a specific vendor offering.

This book stresses the application of the technology to non-traditional IT buyers such as video and music production studios and medical diagnostic imaging technicians. With the rapid adoption of digital processing for images and sound, storage networks have a great use outside of the data center. At the same time, the benefits of recoverability, performance, and manageability will benefit any storage network user. This book appeals to both sets of readers.
