About The Author
Phil Haylor studied microelectronics in 1986/7 and has subsequently been an IT professional in client technology facing roles. He joined the computing industry as a technician, installing modern computing equipment during the 'server boom' of the 1980's, and has since undertaken a number of roles including maintenance of client/server solutions; corporate desktop design; 3rd line technical support; delivery of enterprise-scale solutions; technical team management and consultancy. Phil now focuses much of his time on core technology computing innovations and new technology concepts, and is the inventor of a patented technology that has sparked a new research topic in the field of magnetic recording.

Over the past few years, Phil has noticed that there is a gap in the marketplace in terms of reference material for the executive management team with regard to computer storage, its place within the organization and the issues associated with it. Through this publication, Phil aims to close the divide in terms of knowledge between the decision makers, policy makers and facilitators of computer storage, and raise awareness of the many areas and current concerns associated with this topic.

Reader Reviews
Haylor offers a management level briefing on the various types of computer storage currently available. He writes from the perspective of both a technical background and of knowing what a non-technical manager seeks in understanding. So the language of the text thankfully minimises jargon. Enough is given so that you can appreciate the background behind common industry terms like fibre channel or hierarchical storage management. More to the point, you can grasp the essence of the storage methods. So that you can usefully plan deployments and draw up budgets. Or understand those presented to you by your subordinates.
