The Art of Network Architecture places business needs and capabilities at the centre of the process of architecting and evolving networks.

Two leading enterprise network architects help you craft solutions that are fully aligned with business strategy, smoothly accommodate change, and maximise future flexibility.

Russ White and Denise Donohue guide network designers in asking and answering the crucial questions that lead to elegant, high-value solutions. Carefully

blending business and technical concerns, they show how to optimise all network interactions involving flow, time, and people. The authors review important links between business requirements and network design, helping you capture the information you need to design effectively. They introduce today’s most useful models and frameworks, fully addressing modularity, resilience, security, and management. Next, they drill down into network structure and topology, covering virtualisation, overlays, modern routing choices, and highly complex network environments.
