No single book can tell the whole story of anything. This is especially true of a multidisciplinary subject such as data protection. Following is a list of some of the books that I refer to on a regular basis. Some provide more detail on specific subjects; others, simply a different point of view.
Ancot Corporation publishes two small books that are great primers on storage technology. Basics of SCSI and What Is Fibre Channel? are available for free on the web site www.ancot.com. The books are very technical in nature and contain ads for Ancot products. They are an excellent reference for those who want to delve deeper into storage protocols without reading reams of standards documents. Tom Clark has also written several interesting books. Two titles of special interest are Designing Storage Networks and IP SANs: An Introduction to iSCSI, iFCP, and FCIP Protocols for Storage Area Networks, both published by Addison-Wesley Professional. That latter provides in-depth treatment of SANs running over IP networks. It is one of the few books to focus entirely on IP SANs. |
