Description
|
The first edition was touted by its audience for its lively read with features like, "Tales from the Field". From a 1e reader: "There are two things that stand out about this book: it is comprehensive and the authors are in-the-trenches technical types who can actually write. It is obvious that the authors have stuggled with and mastered every technology and technique about which they have written. This is a refreshing change from the plethora of technical books written by professional writers who are assigned book projects because they have writing ability, but not necessarily any real technical background. So, in a world that is littered with books with no substance, this gem is definitely worth buying." The 2e continues to deliver, with even more updates.- Uses the same witty style with practical tips, lists, and Tales from the Field as the first edition
- Since the first edition, there has been a huge increase in the complexity and design requirements needed to make networks reliable and always available 24/7
- Stresses the importance of data being instantly and reliably available, especially in these critical times when a network must be up round theclock
- Examines how companies look at all possible threats and risks to their enterprise data, from damage caused by a virus to loss of business-critical services
