Realtimepublishers, the worldwide leader in corporate sponsored ePublishing, and PolyServe, the leading provider of software for enabling utility computing on Linux and Microsoft Windows(R) in enterprise data centers, announced the immediate release of The Definitive Guide to Building Highly Scalable Enterprise File Serving Solutions. Written for IT professionals tasked with data center administration and network storage architecture/management duties, this vendor-neutral guide offers expert instruction on maintaining data availability and scaling out existing infrastructure to meet increasing data storage demands. Authored by Microsoft MVP and respected tech columnist Chris Wolf, this new eBook discusses the many disk, server, performance, and availability options for improving your file serving solutions.

"In the last decade, file serving has evolved into a major component of business operations. Compounding the challenges that administrators face are the high demands for availability, performance, and file storage that ranges from hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes. Fortunately, several new technologies have emerged to help ease the file serving availability, performance, and performance burdens. But with many solutions being costly and complex, it's important to know which is right for your organization," explains industry expert and author Chris Wolf. "In The Definitive Guide to Building Highly Scalable Enterprise File Serving Solutions, I examine the complex landscape of technology solutions available, ranging from stand-alone servers, to NAS, virtualization, and clustering. Real-world examples of how leading technologies are easing file serving deployment and management are provided for both Windows and Linux environments."

The Definitive Guide to Building Highly Scalable Enterprise File Serving Solutions will be written in real-time and eBook chapters will be published and posted monthly as soon as they are completed, ensuring the most timely, topic-specific information available.
