Expert
techniques for designing your system to achieve maximum
availability and predictable downtime.


With your company’s reputation and profits at
stake, downtime on your 24/
7 web site is not an option, nor is poor
application performance. Now in its second edition, this
authoritative book provides you with the design blueprints to
maximize your system availability.

Striking
a balance between costs and benefits, the authors show you all
of the elements of your computer system that can fail–as well
as ways to assess their reliability and attain resiliency and
high availability for each one. A unique feature is
Tales from the Field,
a collection of true-to-life experiences that will help you
avoid mistakes and deploy your system with
confidence.

Learn how to
design your system to limit the impact of such problems as
computer viruses, natural disasters, or the corruption of
critical files and discover how to: - Implement effective
backup-and-restore and tape management strategies. - Arrange
disks and disk arrays to avoid downtime caused by inevitable
failures. - Utilize technologies such as
Storage Area Networks (
SAN's), Network Attached
Storage (NAS), Virtualization,
and clustering. - Achieve effective application recovery after
any part of the system has failed. - Replicate critical data
to remote systems across a network.
