Dear Sir/Madam.
Enclosed you will find some information on the the following IOS Press
publication:
The Network Designer's Handbook, edited by A.M. Jones, N.J. Davies, M.A.
Firth and C.J. Wright.
Dr Peter Thompson, chair of the 1355 Association has forwarded me your
address and stated you might consider the above standing publication to be
of importance to your professional needs. You can order the book by e-mail
fax or usual mail.
Network Designer's Handbook
Volume 51 in Concurrent Systems Engineering Series
Edited by:P. Thompson et al.
1997, approx. 320 pp., paperback
ISBN: 90 5199 380 3
Price: NLG140/£45/DM125/US$76
sThe Network Designer's Handbook will help anyone trapped between limited
bandwidth, fault-intolerant computer buses
and expensive, over-engineered telecommunications technology. It will help
anyone looking for new cost-effective ways to
build LAN switches, RAID systems, multimedia servers
or multiprocessors. It will help the small company looking for an edge to
break into the market, and the large one looking
for ways to improve its margins and boost its market share. This handbook,
the result of over six man-years of effort at the
PACT Research Institute, provides solid engineering data for the computer
systems professional. Four cpu-months of
system simulation are summarised in an easy-to-read form, allowing the
consequences of different design decisions to be
simply compared.
The Network Designer's Handbook explains the principles of the new
generation of small-scale low-buffer serial
interconnects. Using the specific example of IEEE 1355-1995 links and the
STC104 high-valency switch chip it shows
how this technology can provide modular, fault-tolerant and scalable
interconnect. The picture is rounded out with descriptions of network
topologies, case studies and many practical tips.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best regards,
Marcella Janmaat
