Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/52a440/storage_networks_e)
has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Storage
Networks Explained: Basics and Application of Fibre Channel SAN, NAS,
iSCSI,InfiniBand and FCoE, 2nd Edition" to their offering.
All you need to know about Storage Area Networks!
The amount of data of an average company doubles every year. Thus,
companies who own 1TB of data today will own 32TB in five years. Storage
networks help to tame such data quantities and to manage this data
growth efficiently. Since stored data and information are the biggest
asset of any company, anyone who is involved in the planning or the
operation of IT systems requires a basic knowledge of the principle and
the use of storage networks.
Storage Networks Explained covers the fundaments, techniques and
functions of storage networks such as disk subsystems, Fibre Channel
SAN, Internet SCSI (iSCSI), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Network
Attached Storage (NAS), file systems, and storage virtualization.
Furthermore the authors describe the use of these techniques and how
they are designed to achieve high-availability, flexibility, and
scalability of data and applications. Additional attention is given to
network backup and the management of storage networks. Written by
leading experts in the field, this book on storage area networks is
updated and fully revised.
Key features:
-
Presents the basic concepts of storage networks, such as I/O
techniques, disk subsystems, virtualization, NAS and SAN file systems
-
Covers the design of storage networks which provide flexible,
highly-available, and scaleable IT systems
-
Explains the use of storage networks for data sharing, data
protection, and digital archiving
-
Discusses management of storage networks using SNMP, SMI-S, and IEEE
1244

Wall Street Journal reported in Monday's Edition (November 30, 2009) that Dell, Acer, Asustek Computer and HP have all launched handsets to diversify their product offerings. What is my analysis? Lenovo sold their handset unit in 2008. Less than 2 years later they buy it back as they b...
We all know about outsourcing, the ability to farm out work to people, often overseas, that will work for less, and sometimes for a lot less. But a not-so-new trend is changing the way that outsourcing happens, called crowdsourcing.
The idea is to take a job and divide it into small...
I was again reading and reviewing Lawrence Lessig's work tonight. The man is so very articulate and his observations so compelling. If you haven't become a student of his work, please take my advice and give it a try
