Books

The field of business computing is immense, and indeed exceeds the scope of a single publication. In general, computing topics can be segregated into several verticals, including business management, technical and educational. Furthermore, each vertical can then be split into many levels of expertise, ranging from novice to component level design. While many books currently exist that cover the various levels of expertise in the technical and educational sectors, few, if any plain English, vendor-neutral business computing books exist for managers of senior positions.

In many cases, peers who are IT strategy focused find it difficult to communicate with colleagues who are business focused, and vice versa. Computer Storage: a Manager’s Guide aims to bring senior peers and colleagues to the same table, and will surely serve as a pathway for all parties to converse in a straightforward manner.

This book considers client technologies from a high-level management perspective, by assessing how the fabric of computer storage affects so many aspects of your organization, for which the senior corporate management have direct responsibility. It is perhaps the first book that highlights many of the IT issues that exist outside the daily operational responsibilities of the IT manager, together with corporate policy matters that fall outside the immediate remit of the IT director.

The many ‘hot topics’ featured within this publication, together with the audience to which this book is ideally suited are highlighted on the back cover of the book, featured opposite (right). Click on the image to enlarge the text.
