SANs Demystified
Get up to speed quickly on storage area networks (SANs) in the real world. This detailed resource explains SAN technology and functions, showing how to manage, configure, and build your own SAN for a wide variety of applications.
TABLE OF CONTENTS SANs Demystified
J-L
- Java
- An object-oriented computer programming language that is similar to but simpler than C+ +. Java was created by Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation.
- JBOD
- Just a bunch of disks. Originally used to mean a collection of disks without the coordinated control provided by control software; today, the term JBOD most often refers to a cabinet of disks, whether or not RAID functionality is present.
- Jini
- An architecture and supporting services for publishing and discovering devices and services on a network. Jini was created by Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation.
- Jiro
- A Sun Microsystems Computer Corporation initiative developed using the Java community process. Jiro s goal is to enable the management of heterogeneous storage networks. The core technology in Jiro is defined in the Federated Management Architecture Specification.
- Jitter
- Deviation in timing that a bit stream encounters as it traverses a physical medium.
- K28.5
- A special 10-bit character used to indicate the beginning of a Fibre Channel command.
- kB, kbyte
- Abbreviations for Kilobyte.
- Key
- Usually a sequence of random or pseudorandom bits used to direct cryptographic operations and/or for producing other keys. The same plain text encrypted with different keys yields different ciphertexts, each of which requires a different key for decryption. In a symmetric cryptosystem, the encryption and decryption keys are the same. In an asymmetric cryptosystem, the encryption and decryption keys are different.
- Key exchange
- A cryptographic protocol and procedure in which two communicating entities determine a shared key in...
