Synopsis

Currently, the average company has access to hundreds of network directories covering a vast range of subjects such as printers, databases, e-mail, and groupware, all in differing formats. It has become a confusing mess for network managers trying to plan and manage information finding in a cost-effective way. Recent research estimates that 80% of the costs of managing directories is due to duplicated efforts. With a clear focus on sorting out the directory landscape and then guiding the reader to matching and migrating the different types of directories for a specific network, this work focuses on three major themes, each comprising a separate section: an overview of directories and their importance to enterprise networks; current and forthcoming uses of directories; and strategies for designing, migrating, and maintaining directories.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A comprehensive guide to network directories with strategic advice for managing current resources and conquering network growing pains

Roughly 80 percent of the money spent on managing electronic directories is due to needless duplication of work and information. For the average Fortune 500 company, which has anywhere from 180 to 1,000 different directories in its network, this duplication results in huge amounts of squandered revenue. The problem is that directory management is arguably the biggest and most confusing job faced by network managers. This book promises to take the headache out of the process, guiding you toward a streamlined, cost–efficient structure for migrating old directory systems and making the most of new ones in order to allow for rapid network growth.

Whether your organization is large or small, this unprecedented guide demonstrates exactly how to sort out the current directory landscape and then effectively match and migrate each individual directory within a single, well–organized network. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the range of possible directories, the authors discuss current and forthcoming directory applications and then offer detailed strategies for designing and maintaining the entire directory network. You′ll also find the latest emerging trends in directory technology and gain a glimpse of things to come for directories in the future.
