Résumé
Special Edition Using Storage Area Networks opens with an
overview of the need for data storage in an enterprise
environment, the different types of data storage devices,
and existing data storage techniques. The authors build on
that foundation with an exploration of the evolution of
SAN, the various networking models and data-centric
applications, a chapter dedicated to fiber channel, and
practical solutions for centralized, heterogeneous, and
high-speed data storage challenges. The second half delves
into more practical applications of the SAN: designing,
implementing, managing, and troubleshooting a SAN. It
provides solutions for alternative SAN vendors, comparing
SAN schemes for competitive products. The last chapter
explores how SAN fits into the current Web scenario, and VI
Architecture as a new system of cluster communications.
