"Wer IT-Infrastrukturen plant und dabei als Netzwerk- oder Systemarchitekt, Administrator oder Entwickler arbeitet, findet in diesem Buch Hilfe, seine Fähigkeiten für diese hochskalierbaren und redundanten Infrastruktur-Serviceleistungen anzupassen. Der Leser erhält Erörterungen über Kosten, Verfügbarkeit, Performanz, Skalierung, Sicherheit und mehr.
