a disk storage system ?which contains multiple disk drives
What is a disk array
100
this network often utilizes a Fibre Channel fabric ?topology - an infrastructure specially ?designed to handle storage communications.
What is SAN
100
This has Multiple instances of different operating systems along with one or more applications running in an isolated partition within the computer.
What is a virtual machine
100
A hard disk storage that is set up with its own network address rather than being attached to a local server.
What is network attached storage (NAS)
100
these are manufacturers of storage area networks
What are netapp, EMC, McData, Cisco, Tivoli
200
these are the major manufacturers of fibre channel switches
brocade, cisco, mcdata, and Qlogic
200
Common uses of this storage includes provision of transactionally accessed data that require high-speed block-level access to the hard drives such as email servers, databases, and high usage file servers.
What is SAN
200
this type of virtualization supports only the same operating system in each partition rather than different operating systems running simultaneously.
What is virtual OS
200
Adaptec, Dell, EMC, HDS (Hitachi Data Systems), HP, IBM, Isilon, Netapp, ONStor, Pillar, TEAC, Seagate, and Sun.
What are the major manufacturers for NAS and SAN
200
besides fibre channels, these protocols are also used for SAN networks
What is SCSI, iSCSI, HyperSCSI, and ATA over ethernet (AOE)
300
a gigabit-speed network ?technology primarily used for storage networking that can run ?on both twisted pair copper wire and fiber-optic ?cables.
What is a fibre channel
300
contains one or more hard disks, often arranged into logical, redundant storage containers or RAID arrays (redundant arrays of inexpensive/independent disks). IT removes the responsibility of file serving from other servers on the network.
What is NAS systems
300
These are makers of virtual machines
What is Charon, Hyper-V (Microsoft), KVM (Qumranet), PowerVM, (IBM), Sun, Virtual Iron, Virtuozzo (Parallels, Inc), VMWare, Xen (Citrix), Wind River, z/VM (IBM).
300
The network-attached storage device is connected/assigned to these two things.
What is a local area network and an IP address
400
Reading and writing a disk at the physical level, that are directly attached internally in every user's computer and most servers
What is the block level
400
This network is hard disk storage that is set up with its own network address rather than being attached to a local server.
What is NAS
400
A method for splitting a single computer into multiple partitions called "virtual environments" (VEs), in order to prevent applications from interfering with each other
What is a virtual OS
500
an enterprise storage file system which can be shared (concurrently accessed for reading and writing) by multiple computers.
What is SAN file systems
500
This storage uses file-based protocols such as NFS or SMB/CIFS where it is clear that the storage is remote, and computers request a portion of an abstract file rather than a disk block.
What is NAS
500
This is a computer software/hardware platform virtualization software that ?allows multiple operating ?systems to run on a host computer concurrently.?
What is hypervisor or virtual machine monitor (VMM)
