NAS Recovery - Computer data storage
Computer data storage, also known as memory or storage, refers to a set of devices that together perform the task of information retention. Storage process is usually coupled with central processing unit (CPU) of the computer. There are different types of storage devices in computing. Each of them has its [...]
NAS Recovery - Disk Storage Replication
Disk storage replication is the process of sharing information by distributing updates of a block device to several physical hard disks. Storage replication is implemented either in a disk array controller (hardware) or a device driver (software). This method of replication works in any file system supported by the operating [...]
NAS Recovery - Distributed Lock Manager
A distributed lock manager (DLM) is a mechanism that allows distributed applications to synchronize their accesses to shared resources. DLM is implemented in several clustered file systems. DLM enables machines in a cluster to use each other’s storage via a unified file system, resulting in improved performance and availability.
DLM is [...]
NAS Recovery - Ethernet Flow Control
Ethernet flow control is a mechanism by which transmission of data on an Ethernet network is temporarily stopped. It is a method by which a network device tells its immediate neighbor that it is overloaded with data, in situations when the device is receiving data faster than it can afford [...]
NAS Recovery - Brocade Communications Systems
Brocade Communications Systems (Brocade) designs, manufactures and sells data center networking solutions and services. Established in 1995, the company has played a significant role in promoting the growth of networking solutions through innovation of Fibre Channel (FC) switches and directors.
Brocade released the first Fibre Channel switch SilkWorm in 1997. SilkWorm [...]
NAS Recovery - BLADE Network Technologies
BLADE Network Technologies (BLADE) is a California-based supplier of Gigabit and 10G Ethernet network infrastructure solutions for blade servers and storage racks. The company was established in 2006 by Garnett & Helfrich Capital.
BLADE’s major offering includes a comprehensive line of top-of-rack and bladed 1-10 Gigabit Ethernet switches. They find application [...]
NAS Recovery - Fibre Channel over Ethernet
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a proposed standard designed to enable Fibre Channel communications over 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. FCoE protocol specification replaces the FC0 and FC1 layers of the Fibre Channel stack with Ethernet. With its native Fibre Channel architecture, FCoE seamlessly integrates with existing Fibre Channel [...]
NAS Recovery - GlusterFS
GlusterFS is a network/clustered file system offering scalability up to several petabytes. It supports different types of communication transports such as TCP/IP, InfiniBand VAPI/Verbs, Sockets Direct Protocol and UNIX domain sockets. It aggregates various storage bricks over these interconnects into a single large parallel network file system.
GlusterFS is based on a stackable [...]
NAS Recovery - Network File Control
Network File Control (NFC) is a software that enables organizations to ‘command and control’ unstructured data. NFC consists of a set of file level management and control policies applied across a heterogeneous file storage infrastructure.
NFC is defined as a functional component within the File Area Network (FAN) reference model defined [...]
NAS Recovery - Unison
Unison is an open-source file synchronization tool that can run on and synchronize between Windows and many UNIX-like operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris. Unison is written in Objective Caml (Ocaml) language.
Unison allows file synchronization between two directories, either on one computer or between a computer and a storage [...]
