Новые Best Practices у NetApp
Я вам тут решил регулярно докладывать о тех переводах Best Practices, что я делаю для компании Netwell и их библиотеки техдокументации в помощь клиентам, разворачивающим и использующим системы хранения NetApp (со временем, быть может, мы и для других вендоров такое сможем, пока просто на большее рук не хватает).
Однако, к сожалению, у NetApp их пишет целая команда, а перевожу их - я один. Поэтому приходится из всего потока, который ежемесячно добавляется в библиотеку самого NetApp, выбирать самое ценное и нужное. Это не значит, что остальное бесполезное. Напротив, там бывают весьма интересные тексты и руководства. Вот я и подумал, что было бы неплохо делать такой дайджест по новым документам на английском языке, котрые пока не переводились, но, возможно, читающие по-английски вполне смогут для себя полезное из них почерпнуть.
В этом месяце я бы хотел обратить ваше внимание на следующие публикации:
