UTM is featured in Pearson (Cisco Press) book on Congestion Management

[paregupt]

I am thrilled to share that Pearson (Cisco Press) has published a book on Detecting, Troubleshooting, and Preventing Congestion in Storage Networks, and it is now available at a bookstore of your choice. Ed Mazurek (Principal Engineer in Cisco TAC) and I co-authored this book.

It is relevant for this community because one chapter of this book focuses on Congestion Management in Cisco UCS Servers. This chapter explains many case studies based on UTM. With the publication of this book, I like to thank you for your contributions to this project by reporting issues, providing feedback, and even allowing me to develop it in your environments.

With more than 700 pages of education, this book focuses on the practical use of technology. In addition to Fibre Channel, it also covers TCP storage networks (for iSCSI and NVMe/TCP) and lossless Ethernet networks (for RoCEv2). The most unique aspect of this book is the multiple case studies, which are based on our first-hand experience of working with customers around the world. You can learn step-by-step procedures to troubleshoot congestion in all types of storage networks.

Those who operate, design, or maintain storage networks will significantly benefit from it.

The book has the following nine chapters:

1. Introduction to congestion in storage networks
2. Understanding congestion in Fibre Channel fabrics
3. Detecting congestion in Fibre Channel fabrics
4. Troubleshooting congestion in Fibre Channel fabrics
5. Solving congestion by storage I/O performance monitoring
6. Preventing congestion in Fibre Channel fabrics
7. Congestion management in Ethernet storage networks
8. Congestion management in TCP storage networks
9. Congestion management in Cisco UCS Servers
