Features: This book introduces expert-level techniques on how to design systems with maximum usability and predictable uptime, considering the reputation and interests of the company.

The authors of this book introduce to everyone how to design systems with maximized usability. This book includes the following content: Implementing efficient backup and recovery and tape management strategies; using disk arrays to avoid downtime caused by unavoidable failures; using technologies such as Storage Area Network (SAN), Network Attached Storage (NAS), virtualization, and clustering; efficiently recovering applications when part of the system fails; replicating critical data to remote systems over the network.
