[Storage-research-list] book announcement: Storage, data, and information systems

[john wilkes]

I'd like to alert you to the availability of a tutorial book that might be 
of interest to this community:  Storage, data, and information systems by 
John Wilkes, Christopher Hoover, Beth Keer, Pankaj Mehra, Alistair Veitch, 
HP Labs, 5th edition, 2008.  ISBN 978-1424317318 or 1424317312.

It's a short ~100 page book that some colleagues and I wrote to introduce 
storage systems to a smart lay audience (HP's board of directors!).  We 
believe it might also be a useful introductory text for an undergrad class. 
And it's only $14.95 :-).  As one reviewer said:
  A concise and accessible description of storage and information systems, 
filling a large gap in reference material for this critical topic area.
  --Professor Greg Ganger, Director, Parallel Data Lab, Carnegie Mellon 
University
You can get a copy from Amazon: 
http://www.amazon.com/Storage-data-information-systems-Wilkes/dp/1424317312 
(Don't worry if Amazon says "temporarily out of stock" - that just means 
they have asked us for some more copies, and the copies are on their way  to 
Amazon's warehouse ... you can still go ahead and order it.)

Comments and feedback welcome!
