High Availability IT Services




Terry Critchley, "High Availability IT Services"
English | ISBN: 1482255901 | 2015 | 542 pages | PDF | 4 MB


Supplying an overview of virtualization, cloud computing, and cloud vendors, this book details the considerations for designing and running highly available services. It starts from the basic premise that a service is comprised of products, processes, and people (3Ps). Providing a detailed look at availability, redundancy, and fault tolerance, the book covers high availability architectures: RAS, clusters, grids and RAID storage. It covers major vendors of hardware, including fault tolerance, cluster offerings, and emergent Linux clusters, as well as online transaction processing (OLTP) and relational databases.
