High Availability and Disaster Recovery: Concepts, Design, Implementation

by Klaus Schmidt

Book Overview

The author presents concrete concepts on how to increase the reliability of IT systems, drawing on many years of concrete experience in the development of highly available systems. Increasingly, mission critical business processes are IT-based. Redundancy can and should be implemented on different abstraction levels: from the hardware, the operating system and middleware components up to the backup computing center in case of a disaster.

Customer Reviews

Great Book!

My orginal DR guide was lost in a basement flood, I was looking for a replacement for my desk libary at work. There was some math (statistics)on availablity / reliablity that was a little hard to follow - my college math is quite rusty, but it was nicly summerized in a graph format, so I could follow it. The network and data center sections are very well done.

Conceptually very good, Methodology too

This is my first book about this matter. Although I have some experience implementing solution with HA/DR requirements, this book was very clarifier. Topics are conceptually clear and also this proposes a good methodology to face HA/DR requirements. You will get some technical details about components that allow implement HA/DR, however it is not in deep. Don't think you will get a comercial product review. This is not the target. It is a very good book.
