Reader Reviews
Some authors write in a style that demonstrates their technical mastery at the expense of reader comprehension. By contrast, some modern technical books talk down to their readers in a silly way. This book is like baby bear's porridge, just right. Not too hot, not too cold. Begining with the first enterprise storage technologies, the authors explain where we are today, how we got here and where we are going. Storage concepts are broken down piece by piece and presented in a concise, understandable way. I couldn't recommend this book more highly. Comment | | (Report this)
