Summary

Summary

This invaluable professional updated guide presents the practical subtleties of a complex subject in an extremely reader-friendly manner and provides the broad understanding required to avoid expensive investment mistakes. Rather than describing details of one or two particular technologies, the author explains why they have evolved, how they relate to one another and what the user needs to know to capitalize on them. The text combines two previously separate and scattered technical threads-telecommunications and distributed computing.
