ABOUT THIS BOOK
From the Publisher
Despite claims from both the UNIX and Windows NT communities that their
respective operating systems will be "taking over the world", the reality is
that enterprise data centers are increasingly multi-platform. The successful IT
manager must be able to combine mainframes, proprietary minicomputers, UNIX and
NT servers, and a variety of desktop clients to meet the needs of the various
user departments while protecting the company's considerable investment in IT
hardware, software, and personnel. If you work in a multi-platform,
enterprise-wide IT function, then this book is an indispensable resource.
Beginning with basic concepts and terminology of networking, client/server
systems, and object-oriented software development, the book then proceeds to
provide a design and guidelines for the implementation of a multi-platform IT
architecture. Particular emphasis is placed on adaptability to changing
technologies and business needs, to ensure that your applications won't be
obsolete before they're even deployed. While focused on Hewlett-Packard's
computing platforms - the HP 3000, HP 9000, and NetServers - anyone needing to
support multi-platform environments will find the approaches presented
applicable. Administration of the multi-platform data center, including high
availability and security considerations, is also discussed.
