SAN Recovery - Xsan
Xsan is a 64-bit clustered file system developed by Apple Inc., for Mac OS X. Xsan allows multiple Mac desktop and Xserve systems to directly access the same storage without the need for a fileserver in the middle. Each Xsan client treats this centralized data as if each of them were directly [...]
SAN Recovery - Network File System
Network File System (NFS) is a client/server application that allows NFS servers to give access to their local file system to NFS clients over a network using TCP/IP. NFS allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network as if the network devices are attached to [...]
SAN Recovery - Switched fabric
Switched fabric, also known as switching fabric or fabric switch, is a network topology which enables data movement from one network node to the other via network switches. These nodes constitute the ‘fabric’ in the switched fabric. The node connections are temporary, and they can be reconfigured, in other words, they [...]
SAN Recovery - Synchronous Optical Networking
Synchronous optical networking (SONET) is a type of multiplexing protocol used in transferring digital data using lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) over the same fiber. The synchronous method enables large number of data traffic over the same fiber wire without creating synchronization problems. Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) is a multiplexing [...]
SAN Recovery - Fault Tolerant Design
In computing, a fault-tolerant design refers to a computing design that enables a system to continue its operation partly rather than failing completely in case a part of the system fails to work. In such instances, the system may put forth a reduced level of performance. This state of performance [...]
SAN Recovery - Shared disk file system
A shared disk file system is a type of enterprise storage file system that can be shared among multiple computers. These computers are collectively called clustered servers, and they connect to the underlying block device over an external storage device known as storage area network. Hence, shared disk file [...]
