Résumé

Stored data and information is the biggest asset of any company.

If stored data is lost, getting it back is expensive and time-consuming - if at all possible. Data networks must, therefore, be designed with built-in redundancy and for high availability. Storage networks permit information management functions such as backup and recovery, data mirroring, disaster recovery, and data migration to be performed quickly and efficiently, with a minimum of system overhead. Consequently, anyone who is involved in the planning or the operation of IT systems requires a basic knowledge of the principles and the use of storage networks.

After reading Storage Networks Explained you will be familiar with

The basic concepts of storage networks like I/O-techniques, disk subsystems, virtualization, NAS, and SAN file systems.
The design of storage networks to provide flexible, high-available, and scaleable IT-systems.
The use of storage networks for data sharing, device sharing, and data protection.
The management of storage networks using SNMP, SMI-S and IEEE 1244.

Storage Networks Explained provides system administrators and system architects as well as students with the tools they need for the optimal selection and the cost-effective use of storage networks, an indispensable technology in view of our ever-growing storage quantities.
