Advanced Server Virtualization focuses on the core knowledge needed to evaluate, implement, and maintain an environment that is using server virtualization. It emphasizes the design, implementation and management of server virtualization from both a technical and a consultative point of view. It provides practical guides and examples, demonstrating how to properly size and evaluate virtualization technologies. This volume is not based upon theory, but instead on real world experience in the implementation and management of large scale projects and environments. Currently, there are few experts in this relatively new field, making this book a valuable resource. |

It is common to observe applications that work perfectly in controlled settings but fail in production environments, impacting business operations; this can result from a failure to account for unforeseen infrastructure events. Patterns for Performance and Operability explores a frequently overlooked aspect of software development: nonfunctional design and testing. In the real world, environmental problems, unexpected data permutation, and changing inputs can lead to unexpected conditions. Patterns for Performance and Operability: Building and Testing Enterprise Software examines common failure scenarios and defensive design patterns, focusing on the complexities of nonfunctional testing and the difficulty to express accurate nonfunctional requirements. |

Now there is a practical guide for those who design or implement the emerging WBEM systems or produce a CIM model of a device or service. A Practical Approach to WBEM/CIM Management describes in detail the components of WBEM architecture, defines models within CIM, and illustrates communication between the WBEM client and server. It also investigates transitioning from SNMP or proprietary systems to WBEM/CIM. It includes coding examples using the openPegasus implementation, demonstrating concepts common to other C++ and Java-based implementations. |

UNIX Administration: A Comprehensive Sourcebook for Effective Systems & Network Management is a one-stop handbook for the administration and maintenance of UNIX systems and networks. With an outstanding balance of concepts and practical matters, it covers the entire range of administrative tasks, from the most basic to the advanced, from system startup and shutdown to network security and kernel reconfiguration. While focusing on the primary UNIX platforms, the author discusses all of the most common UNIX "flavors," including Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, AIX and SGI IRIX. Three chapters of case studies offer a practical look at UNIX implementation issues: UNIX installation, disk space upgrade, and several emergency situations that every administrator must expect to face at some point. |
Business Continuity Planning takes a best practices approach to provide a comprehensive continuity solution. It details how to build a plan to handle disruptions in business, keep vital operations up and running, and prevent losses that occur when productivity is crippled or security is compromised. It explains how to evaluate a current plan for completeness and how to monitor and maintain it to ensure it remains up-to-date. The resulting plan is comprehensive-built on careful planning, not just wishful thinking.
Business Resumption Planning is a reference that answers to the most frequently asked questions about data center recovery, communications recovery, and general business operations recovery. Included with the handbook are complete forms and checklists on diskette that can be used to produce a detailed, custom disaster recovery plan.
Call Center Continuity Planning shows you how to plan for continuity through disasters large and small -- everything from power outages and hurricanes to unexpected peaks in inbound call volume that might threaten to swamp your call-takers.
