Data
This data type has a defined data model, format & structure; "Oracle" or "SQL", for example.
What are structured data?
This type of storage is organized in fixed-sized "chunks" in a rigid arrangement; ideal for enterprise databases.
What is block storage?
This type of capacity is calculated by taking the sum of the advertised capacity of each drive in an array.
What is raw capacity?
This data type has no inherent order and is usually stored as different types of files; a PDF document or Instagram video, for example.
What are unstructured data?
This type of storage is organized into "chunks" that are stored in hierarchically nested groups and groups of groups.
What is file storage?
Abbreviated TB, this base-10 unit of measure is defined as 10^9 bytes of data.
What is terabyte?
This data type has no formal data model but has an apparent, self-describing pattern about it that enables analysis; an Excel file, for example.
What are semi-structured data?
This type of storage is organized into "chunks" in non-hierarchical, scalable "buckets;" ideal for big data, analytics, and archiving.
What is object storage?
This type of capacity is what can be leveraged after drive-level formatting & drive-level data protection has been applied.
What is usable capacity?
An All-Flash Unity XT with this type of data will typically achieve a 3:1 data reduction ratio.
What are structured data?
SMB, NFS, and FTP are protocols all associated with which type of storage?
What is file storage?
This type of capacity is what can be logically leveraged after applying a myriad of data reduction algorithms.
What is effective capacity?
Any DRR-enabled SAN with this type of data will rarely achieve anything above a 1.5:1 data reduction ratio.
What are unstructured data?
iSCSI and FC are protocols all associated with which type of storage?
What is block storage?
Abbreviated TiB, this base-2 unit of measure is defined as 2^40 bytes of data.
What is tebibyte?
