Data is the most important entity in a data center. In addition to being stored securely for the long term, data must be accessible to applications with low latency so that high performance can be maintained 24/7. To meet this performance goal of applications, the storage infrastructure services must be designed accordingly.
In Detecting, Troubleshooting, and Preventing Congestion in Storage Networks, leading Cisco experts take a practical approach to explaining the congestion handling mechanisms of the transport technologies like FC, FCoE, RoCE, and TCP. The authors share proven troubleshooting methodology developed through years of firsthand experience as well as analytical techniques for monitoring the storage fabrics and gaining predictive insights.
Through real-world experiences and case study examples, you'll learn what questions to ask, how to start planning, what exists today, what components still must evolve, and how to drive value in building custom applications in detecting congestion in large-scale storage networks.Optimize user experience with faster resolution of congestion in storage networks in production data centersMaster congestion handling mechanisms in technologies like FC, FCoE, RoCE, and TCPApplicable to networks connected to all storage array types and vendors including Dell, HPE, IBM, NetApp, HitachiReal-world case studies and troubleshooting methodology ensuring storage SLAs are consistently metIncrease uptime with custom analytical tools for predicting and resolving congestionBoost storage infrastructure efficiency in a hybrid cloud modelSave on employee training and reduce support ticket hassles with vendors
