To celebrate the launch of our new Author Expert series of blogs (see the blog of our first author expert Bill Williams) we have 45 Cisco Press books for you to win in this month’s Author Expert competition. Read on for the details of the books up for grabs and how you can win a copy.
We have 15 copies of Bill Williams’ book The Business Case for Storage Networks for you to win. To enter to win a copy, answer the question below by April 1, and we’ll pick the 15 best entries. The judges are Deni Connor, author of Network World’s Storage in the Enterprise newsletter author, and Linda Leung, Cisco Subnet editor. The question is: Describe your biggest problem in handling storage and why? Would it be over provisioning, over capacity, backing up and recovering files, managing files on file servers, getting your boss to buy the storage you need, or something else?
