Enterprising Systems
100
A high-level map or plan of the information assets in an organization, which guides current operations and is a blueprint for future directions.
What is Information Technology Architecture.
100
This term refers to refers to the physical equipment used for the input, processing, output, and storage activities of a computer system.
What is Hardware.
100
This term is short for binary digit (0s and 1s), the only data that a CPU can process.
What is a Bit.
100
This is a type of primary storage where certain critical instructions are safeguarded; the storage is nonvolatile and retains the instructions when the power to the computer is turned off.
What is Read-only memory (ROM)?
100
A special-purpose server that provides file storage to users who access the device over a network; plug-and-play.
What is Network-attached storage (NAS)?
200
The physical facilities, IT components, IT services and IT management that support an entire organization.
What is Information Technology Infrastructure.
200
This hardware element manipulates the data and controls the tasks performed by the other components.
What is the CPU or Central Processing Unit
200
This term refers to an 8-bit string of data, needed to represent any one alphanumeric character or simple mathematical operation.
What is a Byte.
200
This is type of primary storage where the computer can temporarily store blocks of data used more often.
What is Cache Memory?
200
An enterprise storage system architecture for building special, dedicated networks that allow rapid and reliable access to storage devices by multiple servers.
What is Storage area network (SAN).
300
This term refers to hardware, software, telecommunications and networks, and wireless communications.
What is IT components.
300
This kind of data storage is internal to the CPU and temporarily stores data and program instructions during processing.
What is Primary Storage.
300
This term refers to the number of bits (0s and 1s) that can be processed by the CPU at any one time.
What is Word length.
300
This type of primary storage that holds a software program and small amounts of data when they are brought from secondary storage.
What is Random access memory (RAM).
300
An independent, external system with intelligence that includes two or more storage devices.
What is an Enterprise storage system.
400
This part of the IT infrastructure includes data management, managing security and risk, and systems development.
What is IT services.
400
This kind of data storage is external to the CPU; it stores data and programs for future use.
What is secondary storage.
400
This term refers to the preset speed of the computer clock that times all chip activities, measured in megahertz and gigahertz.
What is Clock speed.
400
These memory locations are are part of the CPU with the least capacity, storing extremely limited amounts of instructions and data only immediately before and after processing.
What are registers.
400
This term refers to applying the resources of many computers in a network to a single problem at the same time.
What is Grid Computing?
500
This term is synonymous with IT components and refers to the collectively to the hardware, software, telecommunications and networks, and wireless communications.
What is the IT Platform
500
This term refers to the form in which data and instructions can be read by the CPU – only 0s and 1s.
What is Binary Form.
500
The cycle of computer processing, whose speed is measured in terms of the number of instructions a chip processes per second.
What is Machine instruction cycle.
500
Conventional random access memory (RAM) computer chips store information as long as electricity flows through them. Once power is turned off, the information is lost unless it has been copied to a hard drive or floppy disk. This kind of memory, however, retains data after a power supply is cut off. Replacing DRAM with this kind of memory could prevent data loss and enable computers that start instantly, without waiting for software to boot up.
What is MRAM?
500
This term refers to an enterprise storage system that links groups of standard hard drives to a specialized micro controller that coordinates the drives so they appear as a single logical drive.
What is Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID)
