Good Book to Read BUT DON'T BUY for the exam, By Devan Vanniasingam (Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cisco Internet Architecture Essentials Self-Study Guide: Cisco Internet Solutions Specialist (Hardcover)
It's a good book to have especially if you are an e-project manager. However, Cisco has discontinued the exams and as such don't waste your money buying this book for exam intentions. BUY the book if you would like to have a clear knowledge on e-architecture. Worth the money for knowledge.

When I first started reading this book I thought I was only concerned with how e-business runs, but after delving further into the book and looking at the examples and diagrams I found out that this book is more than just how e-commerce works it also what makes e-commerce work.
While only about 225 pages in length, don't be fooled by that, this book packs a great deal of information within its pages. From the design and what hardware to choose to making sure you have no downtime to consideration outside the network world, this book seems to cover every angle and approach.
The authors make sure you understand the need for security, how QoS affects the website and why network management is so very important. Put it all together and you have the foundation you need to not only run an e-business but manage it as well.
