Beschreibung
The worldwide market for SAN and NAS storage is anticipated to growfrom US $2 billion in 1999 to over $25 billion by 2004. Asbusiness-to-business and business-to-consumer e-commerce matures,even greater demands for management of stored data willarise.
With the rapid increase in data storage requirements in the lastdecade, efficient management of stored data becomes a necessity forthe enterprise. A recent UC-Berkeley study predicts that 150,000terabytes of disk storage will be shipped in 2003. Most financial,insurance, healthcare, and telecommunications institutions are inthe process of implementing storage networks that are distributedto some degree. For these institutions, data integrity is critical,and they will spend much time and money on planning.
One of the primary obstacles to implementing a storage networkcited by enterprise IT managers is a lack of knowledge aboutstorage networking technology and the specific issues involved inextending a Storage Area Network (SAN) or Network Attached Storage(NAS) over the Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) or Wireless AreaNetworks (WAN). Distributed Storage Networks : Architecture,Protocols and Management addresses the "terminology gap" betweenenterprise network planners and telecommunications engineers, whomust understand the transport requirements of storage networks inorder to implement distributed storage networks. Jepsencomprehensively provides IT managers, planners, andtelecommunications professionals with the information they need inorder to choose the technologies best suited for their particularenvironment.
* Addresses a hot topic that will become increasingly important inthe coming years
* Enables high-level managers and planners to make intelligentdecisions about network needs.
* Includes example network configurations providing solutions totypical user scenarios
* Fills the "terminology gap" between enterprise network managersand telecommunications engineers who must understand the transportrequirements of storage networks in order to implement distributedstorage area networks
A fundamental resource for all network managers, planners andnetwork design engineers, as well as telecommunications engineersand engineering, computer science, and information technologystudents.
