I’ve been looking for a good book on data center network design and infrastructure architecture which includes a thorough yet not boring explanation of load balancing, clusters, caching and proxy servers, firewalls, and SSL. I also want a book that includes, most importantly, diagrams to make it easy to see the flow of information and where things are relative to each other. After much research, I have found the book titled “Data Center Fundamentals” to be pretty much exactly what I’ve been looking for, even though it was published in 2003.
The book can be purchased from Amazon or you can Google “data center fundamentals PDF” and download a free PDF of the book.
