This book is a bluffer’s guide to everything today’s busy executive might need to know about enterprise storage, delivering a straight-forward breakdown of technical jargon and explanations of storage strategies. In addition to providing context for the general reader, the book stands as a useful reference guide for those with a more specialist interest, with a relatively detailed analysis of future developments.
