Chapter 4: Processing, Management Concepts, and Cloud Computing Flashcards
1
Q
Distributed Processing
A
- Data collection and processing are distributed across different physical locations
2
Q
N-tier Architecture
A
- Isolate servers, applications, and middleware into different tiers for better scalability and performance
3
Q
Cluster Architecture
A
- Machines are connected to form a network and process the computation in parallel
4
Q
Shared-Everything Architecture
A
- All of the resources are shared (limited scalability)
5
Q
Symmetric Multiprocessing Architecture
A
- All processors share a single memory pool
6
Q
Distributed Shared Memory
A
- There are multiple memory pools for the processors
7
Q
Shared-Nothing Architecture
A
- Multiple systems (nodes) are interconnected to make the system scalable
8
Q
Batch Processing
A
- A series of logically-connected jobs are executed sequentially or in parallel and then the output of all the individual jobs is put together to give a final output
9
Q
Real-Time Data Processing
A
- Processing continual data flow producing the results
10
Q
Parallel Computing
A
- Splitting up a larger task into multiple subtasks and executing them simultaneously
11
Q
Major Drawback of Cloud Computing
A
- Reduced privacy and security
12
Q
Public Cloud
A
- Services are provided over the Internet by third-party vendors
- Larger in scale
13
Q
Private Cloud
A
- Owned exclusively by a single company with the control of maintaining its data center
- On-premise or external
14
Q
Hybrid Cloud
A
- A combination of public and private clouds
15
Q
SaaS
A
- Provides license to an application to a customer on-demand
