"Storage Networks Explained has much to recommend it.... ararity in the literature of digital data storage – a completeexposition of both the base subject matter and its applications,which at the same time offers a level of readability making itsuitable as an introduction to the subject. Storage NetworksExplained is also flexible. It can be read cover-to-cover,browsed, or used as a reference. I recommend Storage NetworksExplained as an essential component of any active informationtechnology library." —Paul Massiglia, Technical Director, VERITASSoftware Corporation Storage networks will become a basic technology likedatabases or local area networks. According to market research, 70%of external storage devices will be connected via storage networksin 2003. The authors have hands-on experience of network storagehardware and software, they teach customers about concrete networkstorage products, they understand the concepts behind storagenetworks, and show customers how storage networks address theirbusiness needs. Storage networks provide shared access to stored data frommultiple computers and servers, thus increasing storageefficiency and availability. They permit informationmanagement functions such as backup and recovery, data mirroring,disaster recovery, and data migration to be performed quickly andefficiently, with a minimum of system overhead. This book explains how to use storage networks to fixmalfunctioning business processes, covering the technologies aswell as applications. A hot topic that will become increasinglyimportant in the coming years. One of the first books to focus on using rather than buildingstorage networks, and how to solve problems. Looking beyond technology and showing the true benefits ofstorage networks. Covers fibre channel SAN, Network Attached Storage, iSCSI andInfiniBand technologies. Contains several case studies (e.g. the example of a travelportal, protecting a critical database) Endorsed by the Storage Networking Industry Association. Written by very experienced professionals who tailored the bookspecifically to meet customer needs including support withsupplementry material on Troppens website and Preface written byTony Clark. Provides basic application information key for systemsadministrators, database administrators and managers who need toknow about the networking aspects of their systems. As well assystems architects, network managers, information managementdirectors and decision makers. This book also supports applications for graduate students andother relevant courses in the field.

Despite its importance, the role of HdS is most often underestimated and the topic is not well represented in literature and education. To address this, Hardware-dependent Software brings together experts from different HdS areas. By providing a comprehensive overview of general HdS principles, tools, and applications, this book provides adequate insight into the current technology and upcoming developments in the domain of HdS. The reader will find an interesting text book with self-contained introductions to the principles of Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), the emerging BIOS successor UEFI, and the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). Other chapters cover industrial applications, verification, and tool environments. Tool introductions cover the application of tools in the ASIP software tool chain (i.e. Tensilica) and the generation of drivers and OS components from C-based languages. Applications focus on telecommunication and automotive systems.

Das Wörterbuch deutscher Präpositionen in ihrer Verwendung als Anschluss an Verben, Substantive, Adjektive und Adverbien schließt eine lexikographische Lücke und ist ein Unikat. Thema sind also die regierten Präpositionen. Es hilft Deutschlernern, aber auch Muttersprachlern, die oft Zweifel haben, mit welcher Präposition ein bestimmtes Wort verbunden wird (stolz auf/über, Abneigung vor/gegen), den richtigen Anschluss zu wählen und zeigt die Verwendungsmöglichkeiten auf. In den deutschen Wörterbüchern sind diese Anschlüsse nur defizitär erfasst. Das vorliegende Wörterbuch dokumentiert den deutschen Wortschatz in Verbindung mit möglichen präpositionalen Anschlüssen erstmals umfassend, praxisnah und deskriptiv ‐ nicht präskriptiv ‐ anhand von Belegen. Die umfangreiche Datei des Autors mit Belegen, die er über Jahrzehnte gesammelt hat, sowie die Internetcorpora Leipziger Wortschatz, Digitales Wörterbuch in Berlin und Cosmas II vom Institut für deutsche Sprache in Mannheim bilden die Grundlage des Wörterbuchs. Jeder Wörterbuchartikel enthält mögliche Präpositionen, dazu die Valenzen sowie die Bedeutungsangaben, danach reichlich Belege, die sowohl den Wortinhalt präzisieren als auch mögliche Kollokationen zeigen. Das Wörterbuch enthält über 5.000 Lemmata mit über 20.000 präpositionalen Anschlüssen.

Valeska Gert - Ästhetik der Präsenzen

West-Berlin war preiswert, trashig, muffig, marode: voll kreativer Freiräume fu ̈r Lebensexperimente jenseits ökonomischen Drucks. Angeschoben von den Impulsen des Punk, entwickelt sich dort Ende der Siebziger eine vielfältig-lustvolle Subkultur. Illegale Bars und Clubs werden eröffnet, Fanzines kopiert, Super-8-Kinos, Bands und Minilabels in besetzten Häusern gegru ̈ndet. Das SO 36 in Kreuzberg wird neben Punkclubs wie Risiko oder der New-Wave-Disko Dschungel zum Treffpunkt der ”Antiberliner“: Punks, Alternative, Industrial- und Elektronikfans, Politanarchos, Lesben, Schwule, Queers und Do-it-yourself-Ku ̈nstler. In diesem ”diasporischen“ Umfeld verkehren auch Heidi Paris und Peter Gente, in deren Merve Verlag 1982 das Manifest des subkulturellen West-Berlin, Geniale Dilletanten, erscheint - benannt nach der ”Großen Untergangsshow“ im Tempodrom. Es treten u.a. auf: Gudrun Gut, Die Tödliche Doris und Die Einstu ̈rzenden Neubauten, aber auch das ”Mädchen vom Bahnhof Zoo“ Christiane F. und die späteren Techno-Akteure Westbam und Dr. Motte. Herausgeber des Merve-Bändchens Nr. 101 ist Wolfgang Mu ̈ller (Die Tödliche Doris). Seine Band spielt sowohl in besetzten Häusern als auch in Kunstkontexten, etwa bei Harald Szeemanns Ausstellung Der Hang zum Gesamtkunstwerk oder auf der documenta 8. Mu ̈llers Geschichte der Westberliner Subkultur simuliert keine distanzierte Objektivität, ist aber weit mehr als Akteursbericht. Er wendet sich den Umschlagplätzen zu, den Materiallagern, den Flohmärkten, erinnert an illegale Kulturstätten wie den Kuckuck und portraitiert Szeneakteure wie Ratten-Jenny, die 1978 Martin Kippenberger attackierte. Damit präsentiert er West-Berlin als Produktionsraum, in dem sich Bewegungen kristallisierten, atomisierten und erst später zu breit wahrnehmbar bis heute wirkenden Gebilden formten.

Die 19. Ausgabe der metamorphosen beschäftigt sich mit dem Fake. Oder genauer: mit seinem Verhältnis zur Fiktion. Was ist der Fake, was kann, macht, will er eigentlich im Text? Und was grenzt ihn ab von der Fiktion? Fragen stellen sich nach dem Nährboden sowie dem Resonanzraum des Fakes als Textwerkzeug – und in welchem Kontext er stattfinden muss, um als Mittel im Text oder als Finte überhaupt zu funktionieren. Beiträge kommen u.a. von Ann Cotten, Joshua Groß, Juliana Kálnay, Wolfgang Müller und Tobias Roth.

metamorphosen 19 – Fake & Fiktion

The current social security systems in Europe have not been able to deal with increased traditional and new risks such as unemployment or work-life balance. One suggested solution to this problem has gained more popular and academic support in recent years: the idea of a universal, unconditional basic income (UBI). This study, therefore, examines whether and how UBI could support social security systems in the UK, Germany and Sweden in order to achieve their aims and fulfill their functions. Since effectiveness and efficiency describe the functionality of social security systems, the study focuses on these two aspects. These aspects will be used to theoretically discuss expected effects of UBI along with the main aims and functions of key policies in each country in regard to their effectiveness and efficiency. In comparison with current social security schemes in each country, the study demonstrates that UBI is able to deal more effectively with several traditional and new risks, despite problems with higher expectations and living standards. UBI provides basic needs and supports people in need.
