The Art of Network Architecture: Understanding Techniques and Designs for Highly Efficient Data Centers with Cisco Nexus, Ucs, MDS, and Beyond: Networking Technology
Autor Denise Donohue, Russ Whiteen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 apr 2014
The Art of Network Architecture is the first book that places business needs and capabilities at the center of the process of architecting and evolving networks, where it belongs. Three pioneering network architects show how to evaluate both business and application requirements from a network designer's perspective, identifying crucial upfront questions that can help the reader shape networks that support current business strategy and provide flexibility for the future.
