Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good resource on IP storage
IP SANs is still a good reference on IP storage protocols and applications. The description of iSCSI and other protocols is still current, although evidently this book was written before final standardization by the IETF. This book is primarily about IP SANs, not Fibre Channel. For more current information on Fibre Channel technology, I found Clark's Designing Storage Area Networks Second Edition to be a useful and objective reference.
Rating:  - Needs an update & objectivity
First off, Tom Clark's "Designing Storage Area Networks" is one of my favorite FC books. Its thorough and gives you a solid understanding of FC. Even with all the recent updates in FC, its still a good reference book.
But this book is already out of date. Most of the comparisons made between FC and IP are inaccurate (no mention of 2 Gb FC, necessity of IP HBAs) or avoid serious corporate considerations like technology availability, maturity, and cost. I hate to say it, but large ... Read More
Rating: - Very good for engineers!
Clear explanation about the RAID, SCSI, FC and IP relations. Very good book. I found it very helpful.
Rating: - A good vendor-neutral, technology-neutral book
While it purports to be about iSCSI, the book does such a good job of explaining the history of the technologies that lead up to iSCSI (SANs, Fibre Channel, etc.) that I feel confident recommending the book to people that are network geeks that want to learn what all this SAN and Fiber Channel stuff is about, and also want to learn about all this new iSCSI, iFCP and FCIP too.
It doesn't go into vendor-specific information, it is _not_ a book about how to run a SAN or how to pick vendors. It is ... Read More
Rating: - Worth a read!
This is a really good book on the new area of Storage Area Networking using IP network technology. It starts with a background on SAN and Fibre Channel (FC), then gets into why IP SAN products are coming onto the market, and how they compare to the older FC products. It also covers SCSI, and has several chapters on IP, UDP and TCP, including how they apply to SANs. A large part of the book is devoted to the various protocols and approaches being used to support SANs over IP, including Fibre Channel ... Read More
