Distributed Storage Networks : Architecture, Protocols and Management |
| Thomas C. Jepsen |
| Did you know that as much as 50% of your storage capacity may be wasted or underutilized? Efficient management of stored data is becoming a necessity for every enterprise. The high cost of downtime creates a need for the increased reliability provided by distributed storage systems. Thus the use of storage networks to manage access to data not only provides an increase in performance and survivability, but also generates real and immediate cost savings.
This book focuses on three primary areas: architectures for distributed storage networks, storage protocols and their inherent distance limitations, and management techniques for distributed storage networks. | | |
