| Storage Area Networking Essentials: A Complete Guide to Understanding & Implementing SANs by Wiley Excellent Primer |
| As a storage novice coming at storage with a networking background, I found this book to be an excellent introduction to storage. The book is particularly effective at illustrating how intertwined storage infrastructure can be (you can solve the exact same problem with fundamentally different approaches - application, volume, array-based solutions). Networking is relatively straightforward by comparison. |
| Storage Area Networking Essentials: A Complete Guide to Understanding & Implementing SANs by Wiley Informative, but a bit dry |
| Barker and Massiglia have come up with that rare beast in this book: something which is so informative you dare not put it down, but on a topic that is so boring that you dare not pick it up. I tend not to build that many SANs these days, and restrict myself to maybe 30 a week or fewer, but I still find that this is enough to make me want not to think about them outside of this. If you buy this, make sure it's bacuse you enjoy building SANs. |
| Storage Area Networking Essentials: A Complete Guide to Understanding & Implementing SANs by Wiley good TOC but no content |
| I bought this book because I needed to figure out what problems SAN can solve for me, and how exactly to solve them in a cost-effective way using products available today. I found no answers to my questions in this book. The table of contents lists all the important topics, but the content is, well ... missing. What you find there is "general concepts" that you probably already know. This is not a book for enginners or system designers. It is probably good enough for a sales person or an IT/PR type. She can pick all the right buzz words from the book but will know no meaning of them. Needless to say, I returned the book. I still give it one star because it is well manufactured and has good illustrations - a lot of work must have gone into it. |
| Storage Area Networking Essentials: A Complete Guide to Understanding & Implementing SANs by Wiley A great reference book |
| Reading this book I have learned as much on file system, volume management, database I/O as I have learned on SAN. It gave me a better understanding of the storage problem I was trying to solve and great pointers on the pitfalls to avoid and where focus should be when building a SAN. A "must have". |

| Storage Area Networking Essentials: A Complete Guide to Understanding & Implementing SANs by Wiley Product Description |
| The inside scoop on a leading-edge data storage technology The rapid growth of e-commerce and the need to have all kinds of applications operating at top speed at the same time, all on a 24/7 basis while connected to the Internet, is overwhelming traditional data storage methods. The solution? Storage Area Networks (SANs)--the data communications technology that's expected to revolutionize distributed computing. Written by top technology experts at VERITAS Software Global Corporation, this book takes readers through all facets of storage networking, explaining how a SAN can help consolidate conventional server storage onto networks, how it makes applications highly available no matter how much data is being stored, and how this in turn makes data access and management faster and easier. System and network managers considering storage networking for their enterprises, as well as application developers and IT staff, will find invaluable advice on the design and deployment of the technology and how it works. Detailed, up-to-date coverage includes: - The evolution of the technology and what is expected from SANs
- Killer applications for SANs
- Full coverage of storage networking and what it means for the enterprise's information processing architecture
- Individual chapters devoted to the storage, network, and software components of storage networking
- Issues for implementation and adoption
