DESCRIPTION
Today, to meet the surging demands of client/server company-wide processes--distributed cooperative computing, business/scientific imaging, video conferencing, multimedia, distance learning and many more--corporations are finding they must extend high-speed communications beyond just a few key sites. This book discusses ATM as the key technology for transforming the enterprise network from data-only to an integrated data, voice, video, image and multimedia corporate infrastructure.
Previous books have covered ATM and client/server separately. This book, intended for networking professionals, is unique in its focus on the hows and whys of the inevitable marriage of these two technologies.
What's inside:
- A description of client/server models and how they function
- A basic review of ATM networking
- Techniques used to build state-of-the-art communications systems
- How to implement a client/server ATM network
- Practical ATM issues such as traffic management and performance
- How to use evolving protocols to grow networks in the future
