redundant array of
independent/inexpensive disks
See RAID.
SAN
Storage area network. Multiple storage
units (disk drives) and servers connected
by networking topology.
SCSI
Small computer system interface. A
high-speed interface used to connect
devices, such as hard drives, CD drives,
printers, and scanners, to a computer. The
SCSI can connect many devices using a
single controller. Each device is accessed
by an individual identification number on
the SCSI controller bus.
secure sockets layer
See SSL.
SSL
Secure sockets layer. A cryptographic
protocol that provides communications
security over the Internet.
storage area network
See SAN.
target
The storage-device endpoint of a SCSI
session. Initiators request data from
targets. Targets are typically disk-drives,
tape-drives, or other media devices.
Typically a SCSI peripheral device is the
target but an adapter may, in some cases,
be a target. A target can contain many
LUNs.
A target is a device that responds to a
requested by an initiator (the host system).
Peripherals are targets, but for some
commands (for example, a SCSI COPY
command), the peripheral may act as an
initiator.
TCP
Transmission control protocol. A set of
rules to send data in packets over the
Internet protocol.
