Reader Reviews
This is a very easy to understand yet comprehensive manual on resilient storage networks. Such networks are able to provide business continuation in the event that a significant disruption occurs. While there are other publications available like "Mission-Critical Network Planning" by Matthew Liotine, "Resilient Storage Networks" mainly focuses to storage media and ways to access it. The first chapters of the book are generally educative: they cover various treats and requirements for data protection, data storage fundamentals, i.e. what is a bit and what is a byte, etc. Then it proceeds to storage networking access models and I/O interfaces. A large part of the book is devoted to fiber optics: cabling types, connectors and transceivers, link loss and power budgets, protocol drop, etc. There are different schemes and illustrations that will help you to choose, at a higher level, to categorize the information that you store, and to build the best kind of network for it: small storage network, consolidation and intermix, metropolitan and wide are storage networks, large and high-performance networks, etc. This is a very friendly and easy-to-understand volume. It is vendor-neutral and doesn't specify individual products and solutions. It looks at the big picture and emphasizes higher-level architectural strategies, based on existing network protocols, access models and interfaces.
