This text guides a system or network administrator through the major hurdles of converting a network from a client/server paradigm to an object-oriented paradigm. It looks at the essentials of a ten-step process of project management for the development of an enterprise network.
From the Author
For system administrators concerned with major ntwk upgradesThe book is neither a comprehensive answer to integrating a network nor a receipt book for resolving specific network issues for DCOM or J++. It focuses on the broad project management issues for network upgrades in areas including object-oriented infrastructure (DCOM & J++), administrative planning (people, time resources), technical planning (modeling techniques, tools, interoperability).
The technique of asking basic questions rather than 'do this' is used because of the recognized network differences caused by legacy software and hardware.
The most common reason for not achieving the customer's expected goals is poor up-front planning. This book tries to change this situtation. I have been involved in too many failures.
