Not much here for professionals

I am struggling to figure out who is an appropriate audience for this book. For the seasoned professional with 10+ years experience in IT, this book will contain very little new information about storage. For the entry level IT professionals new to storage, the book lacks the technical depth that this audience may demand. The high level nature of this book points to IT management as the intended audience.

However, for the IT management crows, this book lacks anything that may be useful. The last two chapters discuss Data Lifecycle Management and Information Lifecycle Management, and compares the two. Then it suddenly ends. There is no information on approaches for ILM, strategies to implement an ILM project, and sound advice on pitfalls to avoid. Nothing.

I would like to say "if you are x, you should buy this book" but I just cannot see where it adds any value. Despite the promising title of the book, and the lack of good books in the area of ILM, you should probably pass on this one. There is better information on the Internet for now. Save your money and wait for a better book to arrive.
