Description
The goal of this book is to present and compare various options one for systems architecture from two separate points of view. One, that
of the information technology decision-maker who must choose a solution matching company business requirements, and secondly that of
the systems architect who finds himself between the rock of changes in hardware and software technologies and the hard place of changing
business needs.
Different aspects of server architecture are presented, from databases designed for parallel architectures to high-availability
systems, and touching en route on often- neglected performance aspects.
Audience:
Enterprise systems & network administrators
