More Description

Network managers and programmers are under the gun to develop fully integrated, multisite business computer networks that afford branch offices maximum power and autonomy at minimum cost. Now this book shows how. Building on a real-life case study, Scott Koegler develops a coherent framework for the design, development, implementation, and ongoing support of a large-scale home-office/branch-office configuration using NetWare and UNIX. And in the process, he provides step-by-step guidance and proven solutions to virtually every technical or organizational problem you are likely to face in setting up and supporting a multisite computer network. In this book, you'll get:

• A detailed blueprint for the design, implementation, and support of a home-office/branch-office configuration
• Practical solutions to the entire range of strategic, technical, and organizational problems typically encountered
• In-depth discussions of all important hardware and software considerations as well as key personnel issues
• Detailed, step-by-step guidance on systems design, UNIX and NetWare applications, integration of UNIX and NetWare, data transfer, synchronization, automation, security, backup, and much more
