Description :
Even as you begin to browse this book, you may be wondering, What’s in it for me?
Will it help solve my design challenges? Will it provide my product a more competitive
edge? Will I have immediate takeaways to work? How much will it improve my
capability to develop highly available and reliable systems? Can my team benefit
practically from this book? Can I immediately adopt some of the techniques as best
practices? Can it help deliver higher quality faster?
Whether you are a student, designer, architect, system engineer, mid-level manager,
senior manager, director, VP, CEO, entrepreneur, or just someone with an intellectual
curiosity, the techniques described in this book will provide you with a winning edge
for designing world-class high-availability solutions.
The intent of this book is to bring to you a straight-forward, crisp, and practical
approach to designing high-availability systems from the ground up, that is, systems
in which high availability is an integral critical design element and differentiator, as
well as a customer requirement. Typical business segments for these systems include
telecom, automotive, medical, manufacturing, aerospace, financial, defense, and public
safety. These systems typically consist of high reliability hardware, embedded and
off-the-shelf software, multisite, multithreaded distributed processing environments,
complex real-time applications, and high performance capabilities.
