Using both the embedded capabilities ofthe Windows 2000 operating system, VERITAS Volume Manager--thede-facto standard for application storage--and other workingexamples, Massiglia clearly illustrates how to organize disks sothat all application data can be given the right balance ofavailability, I/O performance, and online storage cost.
