Storage Area Networks (SANs) are now recognized as the preferred solution for fulfilling institutions
'and enterprises' critical data-storage needs. Whether powered by Fibre Channel or TCP/IP and Gigabit
Ethernet technology, SANs far exceed the capabilities of traditional storage access methods.
SANs are quickly becoming the solution of choice for organizations that require high-volume data-handling capacity.
Written for network developers, IT consultants, administrators, and managers, this updated and greatly
expanded edition of the best-selling Designing Storage Area Networks goes far beyond a straight description
of technical specifications and standards. The text offers practical guidelines for using diverse SAN technologies
to solve existing networking problems in large-scale corporate networks. With this book you will learn how
the technologies work and how to organize their components into an effective, scalable design. In doing so,
you will discover today's best methods for managing storage area networks, including new troubleshooting techniques.
Designing Storage Area Networks, Second Edition, also features detailed case studies that demonstrate
how SANs can solve a number of commonly encountered business challenges, including LAN-free and server-free
tape backup, server clustering, and disaster recovery. As an information-systems professional, you must
keep pace with this powerful, evolving technology.
Key topic coverage includes:
# Using the SNIA Shared Storage Model
# Fibre Channel layers and protocols
# Fabrics and fabric switches
# Host bus adapters
# Fibre Channel RAID and Fibre Channel JBODs
# iSCSI and IP storage protocols and products
# SAN management and problem isolation techniques
# Building extended SANs for data center and remote storage access
