Storage Networking Fundamentals: An Introduction to Storage Devices, Subsystems, Applications, Management, and File Systems describes the fundamental storage technologies used in networked storage. Readers can use it as a reference, learning the storage technologies and methods, as well as a comprehensive, linear introduction to storage technologies.
The book is separated into five parts, starting with an overview of the entire storage network landscape and moving through parts on storage devices and subsystems, redundancy methods, management applications, and filing methods. Unlike networking technology, where there is already a great deal of literature available, many professionals still need to understand the basic building blocks of storage networking. This book provides vendor-neutral, independent analysis and terminology.
