Summary:

Whether a terrorist attack, fiber cut, security breach, natural disaster or traffic overload, today's networks must be designed to withstand adverse conditions and provide continuous service. This comprehensive, leading-edge book reveals the techniques and strategies to help you keep enterprise data and voice networks in service under critical circumstances. You learn numerous ways to minimize single points of failure through redundancy and backups, and discover how to select the right networking technologies to improve survivability and performance.
