Most reliable, for instance: a signature contract

24
Q

¿Qué es la SECONDARY EVIDENCE?

A

Not strong enough to stand alone, but can support other evidence. P.ej. la opinión de un experto.

25
Q

¿Qué es la CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE?

A

Support evidence. Backs up other information presented. Can’t stand on it’s own.

26
Q

¿Qué es la EVIDENCIA CIRCUNSTANCIAL?

A

Por ejemplo, que alguien diga que va a robar un banco y al otro día circunstancialmente dicho banco es robado.

27
Q

¿Qué es la evidencia HEARSAY?

A

Second hand oral or written. P. ej. “Jhon heard that Bill heard that…”, copies of a document.

32
Q

What’s a cold spare?

A

Son refacciones almacenadas en el closet, sin instalar aún.

33
Q

¿Qué significan las siglas MTBF?

A

A
  • No redundant
  • No fault tolerance
  • Disk stripping
  • Data is strip into the two discs.
  • SPEED AND PERFORMACE
36
Q

Características del RAID 1:

A
  • Fault tolerance

- Disk mirroring (two replicas) exactly identical disks

37
Q

Características del RAID 5:

A
  • Disk stripping with parity

- Fault Tolerance + speed

38
Q

¿Qué son los servidores redundantes?

A

Primary server mirrors data to secondary server:

  • If primary fails it rolls over to secondary
  • Server fault tolerance
39
Q

¿A qué se refiere el término “clustering”?

A
  • Multiple server acting as a single logic unit.

40
Q

A
  • Higher availability
  • Greater scalability
  • Easier to manage instead of individual systems
