Understanding Broadband over Power Line explores all aspects of the technology that enables electric utilities to provide high-speed data communications via their power infrastructure. This book examines the two methods used to connect consumers and businesses to the Internet through the utility infrastructure: the existing electrical wiring of a h

Wireless mesh networking is a technology that has the potential to revolutionize how we access the Internet and communicate with co-workers and friends. This book examines the concept and explores its advantages. It also explores how some of the networking protocols operate.

Providing an understanding of Web architecture, along with an overview of the TCP/IP protocol suite, the second edition of this popular resource explains how to use the networks within the Internet, operated by various ISPs, as mechanisms for effectively delivering Web server based information. Emphasizing a best-of-breed approach, it allows readers to build an effective CDN on practically any budget. This vendor-neutral reference explains how to code Web pages to optimize the delivery of various types of media and includes examples of successful approaches, from outsourcing to do it yourself.

As a manager of the 90s, you know that IT departments like your own must continue to meet increasingly sophisticated end-user needs despite highly limited resources.

Detailing powerful methods for reducing the energy costs associated with operating a data center, Making Your Data Center Energy Efficient examines both equipment and building facilities

A key issue in the Internet world is Internet Protocol (IP) addressing. This book provides a comprehensive reference to addressing in a TCP/IP environment. It moves from the basics of the binary numbering system to advanced topics in subnetting, network address translation, the configuration of workstations, and servers and routers.

Now that the market drivers for a wireless LAN breakthrough are in place - new standards, new products and emerging broadband markets - network managers need to know how to operate them and what equipment and access to purchase. This is a practical guide to deploying networks.

As data transmisson migrates from copper to fibre optic conductors, this guide explains how fibre-based components will work in the present environment, and how they will alter the environment for better of worse.

This book focuses on minimizing the costs associated with the energy required to operate the data center. By examining both equipment and building facilities, the text provides readers with detailed information necessary to properly manage all aspects of the energy consumed in operating a data center. In addition, for readers not well versed in either financial and energy terms, the first two chapters present a detailed discussion of how to compute the return on your investment in minimizing the consumption of energy and the terms associated with different types of energy.
