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.

Enter the new era of data storage that combines database and networking technologies with this introductory comparison and practical implementation of Storage Area Networks.-- Multiple vendor reference: This book provides solutions and schemes from competing SAN vendors, including an appendix of available SAN products.-- Readers will learn to customize their own SAN solution: Authors forecast future growth of SANs in an Advanced Study of Virtual Interface.-- Technically accurate instruction: NIIT recently earned the National Education and Training group Excellence Award for defect-free deliveries of Learning products.Even highly experienced system or network professionals are unfamiliar with SAN functionality and terminology. This book 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 of this book delves into more practical applications of the SAN: designing, implementing, managing, and troubleshooting a SAN. The last chapter explores how SAN fits into the current Web scenario, and VI Architecture as a new system of cluster communications. Unlike competing titles, this book provides solutions for alternative SAN vendors, comparing SAN schemes for competitive products.

Practical implementation and introductory comparison of the concept and technology for providing fast common reliable and scaleable mass storage.
