商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

特殊版使用儲存區網路》開篇概述了企業環境中對數據儲存的需求、不同類型的數據儲存設備以及現有的數據儲存技術。作者在此基礎上探討了儲存區網路(SAN)的演變、各種網路模型和以數據為中心的應用,專門介紹了光纖通道,並提供了針對集中式、異構和高速數據儲存挑戰的實用解決方案。後半部分深入探討了SAN的更實用應用:設計、實施、管理和故障排除SAN。它提供了替代SAN供應商的解決方案,並比較了競爭產品的SAN方案。最後一章探討了SAN如何融入當前的Web場景,以及VI架構作為一種新的集群通信系統。
