Server architectures multiprocessors, clusters, parallel systems, Web servers, and storage solutions /

The goal of this book is to present and compare various options one for systems architecture from two separate points of view. One, that of the information technology decision-maker who must choose a solution matching company business requirements, and secondly that of the systems architect who find...
