Part-4 Flashcards
BPA
Business partner agreement
What exactly is expected of each entity in terms of services, finances, and security
MOU
memorandum of understanding
Usually not legally binding; less formal; they’re typically in acted as a way to expressed a desire for all parties to achieve the same goal in the agreed-upon manner; mutually beneficial
I SA
Interconnection security agreement
This type of agreement is geared toward the information systems a partner Entities to ensure that the use of inter-organizational technology needs a certain security standards; legally binding
RAID
Redundant array of independent disks
This is a set of vendor independent specifications that support redundancy and fault tolerance for configurations on multiple devices storage systems.
RAID 0
Data is written across multiple storage devices a.k.a. stripping, increasing performance. There is no redundancy of data , so a failure of one device affects the entire array.
RAID 1
Data is simultaneously replicated from one storage device to another I get a mirroring, decreasing performance. This provides redundancy, as data and I feel device may still be present on the mirrored device.
RAID 5
Data is stripped across three or more disks with one extra block a redundancy called a parity block. this provides increased performance and ensures that data on one failed storage device can be reconstructed from the parity block and the other functional devices.
RAID 6
This is the same as raid five except it uses one or more block of parity. This provides increased redundancy, as data onto field devices can be a reconstructed from the two parity blocks and the other functional devices.
Non-persistence
Is the property by which a computing environment, typically a virtual one, is discarded once it has finished its assigned tasks.
How do you enable persistence?
You can’t enable nonpersistence through the use of snapshots also known as checkpoints.
Live boot
The operating system is not installed on the system storage device rather runs directly and ram
High availability
The property that expresses how closely systems approach the goal of providing data availability 100% of the time while maintaining a high level of system performance.
An uptime rating of 99.9% or three nines is a very high level of availability, resulting in less than nine hours of downtime for a year. 49’s, or 99.99% uptime results in less than an hour of downtime for year but comes with an associate a proportional increase in cost.
DAS
Direct attached storage
NAS
Network attached storage
SAN
Storage area network
PGP
Pretty good privacy
