By combining general information about Storage Area Networks (SANs)
with specific information about the SilkWorm line of Fibre Channel
switches from Brocade Communications Systems, Building SANs with Brocade Fabric Switches
provides great value to information systems engineers interested in
planning and implementing network storage solutions. Written in large
part by two Brocade engineers--with support from their
organization--this book is the definitive one to have if you've chosen
a Brocade system, and not a bad choice by any means if you're working
with a competitor's equipment. The authors' coverage of Fibre Channel
fundamentals (including physical cabling and connectors) is
particularly illuminating.
Chris Beauchamp and Josh Judd recognize
that building a SAN may be a new kind of project for many of their
readers, and so they spend time discussing SANs' goals and the process
of discovering user requirements through interviews. They work through
the design process from there, showing how to allocate transmission
capacity, provision storage space, and decide on a topology. Their
teaching technique is a combination of text and prose (like watching a
slide show in a conference room) and bright question-and-answer
sections that help clarify specific details. There are some
command-line listings, as well. Overall, the treatment is comprehensive
and a pleasure to absorb. --David Wall
