Buliding N1™ Grid Solutions Preparing, Architecting, and Implementing Service-Centric Data Centers

Part 2: Preparing for N1 Grid Solutions

The chapters in Part 2 help you develop a more detailed understanding of the first steps in the roadmap to realizing N1 Grid solutions. The examples show how implementing N1 Grid systems uses familiar design fundamentals, although they are often emphasized in different ways. Part 2 also introduces the importance of architecture as a central organizing principle used throughout this book. The architectural principles and language are used to decompose the problem space, provide a link to the solution space, and frame the discussion about the movement of your people, processes, and technologies from an environment of server-centric applications to one of network-centric services.
