TY - BOOK AU - Bauer,Eric AU - Adams,Randee AU - Eustace,Dan TI - Beyond redundancy: how geographic redundancy can improve service availability and reliability of computer-based systems SN - 9781118038291 (hardback) PY - 2012/// CY - Hoboken, NJ PB - Wiley-IEEE Press KW - Computer input-output equipment KW - Reliability KW - Computer networks KW - Redundancy (Engineering) N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index N2 - "While geographic redundancy can obviously be a huge benefit for disaster recovery, it is far less obvious what benefit is feasible and likely for more typical non-catastrophic hardware, software, and human failures. Georedundancy and Service Availability provides both a theoretical and practical treatment of the feasible and likely benefits of geographic redundancy for both service availability and service reliability. The text provides network/system planners, IS/IT operations folks, system architects, system engineers, developers, testers, and other industry practitioners with a general discussion about the capital expense/operating expense tradeoff that frames system redundancy and georedundancy"-- Provided by publisher; "This book provides both a theoretical and practical treatment of the feasible and likely benefits of geographic redundancy for both service availability and service reliability"-- Provided by publisher ER -
