I/O Consolidation in the Data Center (Networking Technology)
by Silvano Gai and Claudio Desanti
Using Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and related technologies, data centers can consolidate data traffic onto a single network switch, simplifying their environments, promoting virtualization, and substantially reducing power and cooling costs. This emerging technology is drawing immense excitement, but few enterprise IT decision-makers and implementers truly understand it. I/O Consolidation in the Data Center is the only complete, up-to-date guide to FCoE. FCoE innovators Silvano Gai and Cl...

From 'Covfefe' to #FraudNewsCNN and #FakeNews, Donald Trump's tweets have caused an international frenzy. He is a reality TV and Twitter-President, who uses digital and entertainment culture as an ideological weapon - as an expression of his authoritarianism. This book delves into new political-economic structures as expressed through political communication to explain the rise of authoritarian capitalism, nationalism and right-wing ideology throughout the world. Christian Fuchs does this th...
This is a complete revision of Michael Santifaller's best selling book, which provides practical guidance in the planning, installation and operation of UNIX based LANs. * Updated Information on TCP/IP * A substantially re-worked NFS section to include indepth explanations of the RPC paradigm, rapidly becoming the preferred mechanism for writing distributed applications beyond NFS. * A revised programming chapter that now includes program examples for socket and TLI programming that will help UN...
Being connected to the Internet means that technical professionals designing and running the network must keep tabs on the technical rules (standards) and updates. However, the only source for standards is a huge flat, online list of what's called RFCs (Requests for Comments) of every technical rule and improvement ever proposed. This list includes thousands of documents, many of which are in process, irrelevant, out-of-date, or obsolete. Most frustrating for network professionals is that there...
The field of Home Area Networks (HAN), a dedicated residential subset of LAN technologies for home-based use, is fast becoming the next frontier for the communications industry. This book describes the various technologies involved in the implementation of a HAN: high-speed Internet connections, indoor implementations, services, software, and management packages. It also reviews multimedia applications (which are increasingly the most important and complex aspects of most HANs) with a detailed...

Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkit
by Chris Hurley and Jeremy Faircloth
Penetration testing a network requires a delicate balance of art and science. A penetration tester must be creative enough to think outside of the box to determine the best attack vector into his own network, and also be expert in using the literally hundreds of tools required to execute the plan. This book provides both the art and the science. The authors of the book are expert penetration testers who have developed many of the leading pen testing tools; such as the Metasploit framework. The...
