Data is now seen as an indispensable asset that can be a game changer for any organization. In recent times, information is being created continuously and is present everywhere. This has led to organizations struggling to properly and effectively manage the huge volumes of information flowing through their systems. The sheer quantum of information that organizations have to deal with is only increasing with time.

Storing all routine information dealt with by organizations is costly and difficult, hence, organizations extract the essentially required data from the huge information pile by employing suitable methods and appropriate technologies. The extracted data is then properly stored for archiving and effective retrieval.

With changes in requirements and technologies, businesses are constantly exploring and experimenting new methods for properly storing and effectively managing data. Older storage architectures and technologies have become inefficient in terms of cost and time spent for effective data storage and management. In this context, newer technologies such as converged and hyper-converged infrastructures, public and private clouds, scaled-up and scaled-out devices, flash technology, and software-defined solutions are making storage efficient and better.

The book, “Data Storage Technologies” by K.L.JAMES, discusses the different concepts associated with data storage and the technologies used, as well as the trends and practices followed in the design and management of efficient data storage systems. The book is targeted for students undergoing courses in data storage systems as well as for professionals working in related fields. The objective of the book is to introduce to the reader the basic concepts associated with data storage, steps necessary for designing well-suited data storage solutions, and the effective use of new technologies for data storage and management.

Beginning with an introductory chapter on the basic concepts, the book progresses to discuss new topics like storage virtualization and cloud storage. To aid in self-assessment and test the new knowledge gained from each chapter of the book, there are end-of-chapter worksheets and short answer questions. The elegant and simple style of presentation makes reading of this book a pleasant experience. The book will be highly acceptable to those interested in getting acquainted with the latest and newest trends associated with data storage technologies.
