Customer Reviews
The book proved to be excellent for moving me (you) on to a good understanding of NAS, SAN, SCSI and iSCSI.
If you are working in this field already - you won't learn much from this book - but if you are a manager or someone who uses SAN's as part of some other implementation (VMWare, for example), this book is for you.
Listmania!
