Nice summary book I was assigned the task by my company to install a SAN without ever having seen one. This book was very valuable in preparing me to get the job done. It's well organized with none of the usual excesses of the usual 800 page computer book. It makes for an excellent introductory book. | ||
Incredibly difficult subject to conquer, but Dummies makes it entertaining Good overview of subject, would have like the option to go more into the details of switches. Should be updated too. Easy read, entertaining writers. A true must read for anyone even related to the SANS industry. | ||
A bit outdated now.. Hardly a mention of iSCSI and mostly deals with 1 & 2MBit Fiber Channel, which displays some of it's age. Though, it does a reasonable job of explaining LUN's, naming conventions and the security models in reasonably simplistic terminology. I personally wanted to know more specifically about iSCSI and other newer technologies. | ||
This book delivers -- Big Time! I'm a DBA and needed to understand a few technologies about SANs and I had no where to look, until I read the reviews about this book on Amazon and decided to trust most of the reviewers and boy were they right. Excellent, excellent material delivered in a way that non-storage Admins would understand. I wish it wasn't put under the 'Dummies' series though. | ||
Chris Poelker is a storage god! Talk about an awesome read. If there's anyone out there that wants to learn about SAN/NAS, this is the book for you! | ||
