Storage and management services provider EMC Corporation, US, has announced a partnership with publisher John Wiley & Sons, US, to produce Information Storage and Management: Storing, Managing and Protecting Digital Information. Information Storage and Management (ISM) is projected as the definitive reference on the full spectrum of storage technologies, for those who must understand how to efficiently store, manage and protect digital information - from students, to IT professionals in the field, to senior technology decision makers.
To best address the modern datacenter, which is typically comprised of multiple technologies from numerous vendors, this comprehensive technology book takes an 'open' approach to information storage and management, focusing on concepts and principles, rather than product specifics. ISM is written by a team of storage industry experts from EMC, who leverage the company's 30 years of experience with storage technologies, and is edited by G. Somasundaram, Director, EMC Education Services and Alok Shrivastava, Senior Director, EMC Education Services.
The publication's 40 contributing writers cover the evolution of storage technology, including traditional deployment, consolidated storage networking and storage virtualisation, while also addressing the most prevalent storage technologies, including direct attached storage (DAS), networked attached storage (NAS), storage area networks (SAN), content addressed storage (CAS), and IP SAN. Various business continuity solutions using local and remote replications technologies are explained, along with backup, recovery and archival techniques. ISM also includes the current trends in information security and management of information storage, making ISM a necessary reference for today's IT professional. The book's companion website http://education.emc.com/ismbook provides updated information on information storage technology trends, as well as additional learning aids.
ISM follows EMC's popular Information Storage and Management curriculum, which helps technology professionals achieve the industry-leading EMC Proven Professional certification.
