From the Barnes and Noble browser:

Went through the Barnes and Noble networking section again. This time no FC stuff. Seems like the print media lags behind what is available on the net. Short of Dr. Benner's book there are not a lot of attempts to organize the current information. There are books about data warehousing, data mining, and distributed information systems - but they all seem to be written from the perspective of the non IT administrator or software. Absolutely nothing about FC hardware.

I did find two great books:

Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach by John L. Hennessey and David L. Patterson (2nd edition, Morgan Kauffman Publishers, San Francisco 1996). This book has great information on I/O, networks, supercomputers, switch topologies and yes, latency. It provides hundreds of examples, so you can check your calculations against theirs.

In Search of Clusters by Gregory F. Pfister (Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ 1998). Everything you need to know about clusters and cluster connects (cluster-cluster and cluster-disk). It also describes a number of proprietary systems.

Good reading.

George D.
