Computers : Computer Architecture

Managing the costs and tradeoffs of implementing a rich, service-based network architecture can be extremely difficult, especially considering the fact that return on investment can plummet due to unpredictable overall market conditions. This book empowers you so that you can avoid taking too much risk for not enough return. It analyzes network-based services using an innovative new framework that links market uncertainty to the choice between distributed and centralized management structures. Gaynor clearly shows you how to benefit from this uncertainty by leveraging flexibility to optimize profitability. more...
