Product Description
Storage Management in Data Centers describes the problems that administrators face when trying to cope with the complexities of heterogeneous storage in large data centers. It shows possible solutions using the Veritas Storage Foundation software. But it does not limit itself to superficial
software features or bug workarounds. The authors outline many common misconceptions as well as misunderstandings of the basic laws of physics that have become too common in today's data center environments and can severely hamper both data integrity and performance. Did you know that the speed of light imposes a very severe limitation to day-to-day processing for remote disaster recovery sites? Are you aware that you are probably wasting dozens of hours of precious I/O time synchronising data that does not actually need to be synchronised? Learn about these and many more common errors and misconceptions that the authors have experienced from an aggregate thirty years of experience of consulting and training for high end data centers around the world.
