Mithilfe dieser Schritt-für-Schrittanleitung können Sie Ihren Server zügig aufsetzen und einrichten. Die Einrichtung des Servers ist aber nur die halbe Miete, daher beschreibt dieses Buch auch typische Netzwerktopologien, in denen Sie Ihren Server einsetzen werden. Sie haben dann Kriterien für die Auswahl einer Internetleitung an der Hand und kennen die sicherheitsrelevanten Anforderungen an Ihre Netzwerkstruktur. Der Autor André Aulich hat schon erfolgreich zahlreiche Server-Infrastrukturen geplant und implementiert, richtet Produktionsumgebungen für Fernsehsender und Postproduktionsfirmen ein und ist als Autor, Vortragender und Consultant gefragt. Sein wertvolles Know-How finden Sie gebündelt in diesem Buch.
