The book is a step-by-step approach to how the LAN and WAN fit together. There is a detailed discussion of using client/server as a remote access tool, as well as a discussion of the emerging role of ATM, Frame-Relay and APPN as network carriers to support client/server demands. Regis Bates is the author of "Voice and Data Communications Handbook".
This handbook covers late 1990s developments in telecommunications, DSL technology, voice over IP, Wave Division Multiplexing, XSDL products, VPNs, Advanced Intelligent Networks, SONET, SS&, PCS, and WDM. It is designed to be as user-friendly as possible.
This guide provides an explanation of wireless communications systems and how to implement them. Written from a managerial as well as a technical perspective, it features cellular communications and personal communications service/networks (PCS/PCN); comparisons of primary transmission systems; practical implementation strategies, including action steps and checklists; how to integrate wired and wireless networks, with application drawings; vendor lists, applications, products and services and licensing check sheets; and detailed coverage of radio, light, cellular and emerging VSAT communication systems. The guide balances managerial and technical issues to present a foundation for understanding and implementing wireless transmission systems in a broad range of corporate environments. It should be of interest to telecommunications and LAN managers and network planners.
What are the potential risks to the integrity of a LAN? What are the problems that can lead to disastrous network failure? What steps are involved in establishing a fast, effective recovery plan? What is required to secure a network from unauthorized access? These are just a few of the questions answered in this guide to preventing LAN failure and recovering quickly if a network goes down. Recognizing that LAN failure can bring an organization to a complete standstill, this hands-on guide covers both the physical and the logical protection of LANs. Written from a user's perspective, the book includes: real-life examples of LAN disasters and the solutions used; checklists and comparisons detailing what to do, when to do it, and how to do it; useful tricks of the trade for selling a disaster prevention plant to management and determining the cost to protect and/or backup the LAN; comparison charts for products and services currently available, including off-the-shelf software to monitor performance, detect problems, and provide audits and inventories; and a vendor list and glossary for easy reference.
"Disaster Recovery for LANS" provides all of the facts LAN administrators, network planners, MIS/DP directors, and senior managers need to determine where their exposures lie, what protection will cost, and what their options are.
