DESCRIPTION:
HUSEYIN SIMITCI, PhD, is an engineering researcher at XIOtech Corporation and the author of several research papers devoted to high performance input/output systems and adaptive techniques in parallel file systems. . His work contributed to the Scalable I/O Initiative and NSF-funded Grand Challenge programs
Whether you need to evaluate an existing system or design one from the ground up, this book provides a comprehensive, vendor-neutral collection of ideas, practices, guidelines, and frameworks for approaching performance-related issues. Huseyin Simitci expertly bridges the gap between the theory of performance analysis and the practice of storage system performance engineering, and includes a special case study section filled with real-world examples you can apply to your own SAN, starting today.You’ll learn how to:Develop plans for managing SAN capacity, demand, and workload requirementsBenchmark and configure SANs to allocate sufficient network resources for
Features vendor-neutral coverage applicable to any storage networkIncludes a special case-study section citing real-world applications and examplesThe first vendor-neutral volume to cover storage network performance tuning and optimizationExacting performance monitoring and analysis maximizes the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of existing storage networksMeets the needs of network administrators, storage engineers, and IT professionals faced with shrinking budgets and growing data storage demands
a valuable resource John B. Fisher I am a Systems/Software Engineer, who helps customers solve complex storage issues. Part of that role includes training the various individuals who support those customers as well as those customers. As another reviewer noted, all too often the "solution" is to just replace hardware. All too often, that does not address underlying issues.As a r. Thorough, well written Publius Simitci's treatment of storage performance is unusually comprehensive and rigorous. While sometimes bordering on the academic - some of the methods proposed require time and skill availble to the researcher but not the typical storage administator - on the whole the book should prove useful to those planning and designing prodcution, enterprise. Storage Network Performance Analysis Finally, a book that encompasses all of the aspects of performance analysis and SAN!I found this book to be referencing many of the books I and colleagues have found to be excellent examples on how to conduct performance analysis. Easy to understand and well explained theories make this an excellent tool for the seasoned performance analyst and
