Breaking the Availability Barrier: Volume I, "Survivable Systems for Enterprise Computing," describes the techniques that can be used today for extending the time between system failures from years to centuries, often at little or no additional cost.
Breaking the Availability Barrier: Volume II, "Achieving Century Uptimes with Active/Active Systems," covers significant issues and technologies related to active/active architectures, including availability calculations, redundant reliable networks, distributed databases, total cost of ownership, and node failures.
Breaking the Availability Barrier: Volume III, "Active/Active Systems in Practice," contains practical examples and case studies for actually building active/active systems based upon the principles covered in Volumes I and II.
