Architecting Enterprise Solutions with UNIX Networking

A step-by-step guide to building UNIX-based architectures that maximize performance, growth, reliability, manageability, and security. UNIX network planning issues covered include requirements analysis; what-if analysis; capacity planning; two-, three-, and N-tier architectures; clustering options and alternatives; and ways to integrate UNIX-based systems with Windows, Macintoshes, local area networks, and other devices.
