API – Application Program Interface

Posted on January 20, 2017 by admin

API - Application Program Interface Application program interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. An API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. Different Types of APIs There are many different types of APIs f...

hybrid hard disk drive

Posted on January 20, 2017January 20, 2017 by admin

hybrid hard disk drive Abbreviated as HHDD, a hybrid hard disk drive is a large-buffercomputer hard drive that uses non-volatile flash memory (also known as NVRAM) to cache data during normal use. Hybrid hard drives uses 128MB (or more) of high speed flash memory, which is embedded directly on the hard drive itself, to serve as a fast cache for booting and saving data. When booting the PC, the operating system loads data from the flash memory first, speeding boot-up times and it also removes th...

NVRAM – Non-Volatile Random Access Memory

Posted on January 20, 2017 by admin

NVRAM - Non-Volatile Random Access Memory Abbreviation of Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, a type of memory that retains its contents when power is turned off. One type of NVRAM is SRAM that is made non-volatile by connecting it to a constant power source such as a battery. Another type of NVRAM uses EEPROMchips to save its contents when power is turned off. In this case, NVRAM is composed of a combination of SRAM and EEPROM chips.

RAM – random access memory

Posted on January 13, 2017 by admin

RAM - random access memory RAM (pronounced ramm) is an acronym for random access memory, a type of computer memory that can be accessedrandomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other devices, such as printers. Main Types of RAM DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) SRAM (Static Random Access Memory). The two types of RAM differ in the technology they use to hold data,...

DHCP Definition

Posted on January 13, 2017November 11, 2018 by admin

DHCP Definition Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. DHCP Simplifies Network Administration Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the softwa...

Object Storage

Posted on January 13, 2017January 13, 2017 by admin

Object Storage Object storage, also called object-based storage, is a generic term that describes an approach to addressing and manipulating discrete units of storage called objects. Like files, objects contain data -- but unlike files, objects are not organized in a hierarchy. Every object exists at the same level in a flat address space called a storage pool and one object cannot be placed inside another object. Both files and objects have metadata associated with the data they contai...
