Any books I can pick up at B&N on SANs?

Any books I can pickup at barnes and noble that cover information about the setup of a SAN? I would like to setup a SAN of my own but the information on teh intarweb is scarce at best. Also any books covering more advanced network setups or at least ways to backup large amounts of data/data redundancy over multiple systems?

A SAN is not quite like setting up a server, you can't just get any old box and throw it down on there, you require expensive disks, controllers, fibre, fibre switches, HBA's, etc. You might look and see if a local tech school offers a SAN class, as they may have the equipment already.

Are you thinking more of a NAS?

Here's a bunch of books on designing SANs at Amazon.com
