Download Data Storage Networking Real World Skills for the CompTIA Storage +™ Certification and Beyond By Poulton, Nigel

Sinopsis

As one of the three pillars of IT infrastructure (computing, networking, and storage), storage is fundamental to just about every IT infrastructure ever built. This makes managing storage an essential skill for everyone involved in IT infrastructure, from systems administrators to infrastructure architects.

This book was written so that you can gain the required storage knowledge from which to build a successful IT career. Understanding how disk drives, flash memory, and storage arrays work is vital to understanding how to design, implement, administer, and troubleshoot storage environments. The book also includes many real-world examples to help clarify concepts and show how they should be applied. Finally, the book covers all the objectives listed in the CompTIA Storage+ exam (SGO-001). So after reading this book, you will have all the knowledge required to both pass the exam and implement storage in the real world.

We dedicate entire chapters to topics such as cloud and converged infrastructure, which are reshaping the IT world. Software-defined storage is also addressed in various chapters. This book is written with the assumption that you have very little knowledge of storage and want to get up to speed as quickly as possible. Great effort was made so that fundamentals would not be tedious for any reader who feels they already have a good grasp of the basics but want to deepen their knowledge. Covering the basics in a succinct manner also allows such readers to quickly refresh their knowledge and potentially clarify any areas where they were previously uncertain.
