A hybrid volume is any volume that intentionally and opaquely makes use of two separate physical volumes. For instance, a workload may consist of random seeks so an SSD may be used to permanently store frequently used or recently written data, while using higher-capacity rotational magnetic media for long-term storage of rarely needed data.
VM-aware storage allows storage to be managed as an integrated part of managing VMs rather than as logical unit numbers (LUNs) or volumes that are separately configured and managed. VM-aware storage is often used in conjunction with other VM-aware components and processes such as VM-aware computer network , VM-aware backup and VM-aware virus ...
Storage Technology Corporation (StorageTek or STK, earlier STC) was a data storage technology company headquartered in Louisville, Colorado. [1] New products include data retention systems, which it calls "information lifecycle management" (ILM).
DeviantArt, Inc. is headquartered in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California. [1] DeviantArt had about 36 million visitors annually by 2008. [2] In 2010, DeviantArt users were submitting about 1.4 million favorites and about 1.5 million comments daily. [3] In 2011, it was the thirteenth largest social network with about 3.8 million weekly ...
A storage area network (SAN) or storage network is a computer network which provides access to consolidated, block-level data storage. SANs are primarily used to access data storage devices, such as disk arrays and tape libraries from servers so that the devices appear to the operating system as direct-attached storage .
Unraid's primary feature is the ability to easily create and manage storage arrays in hardware-agnostic ways, allowing users to use nearly any combination of hard drives to create a disk array, regardless of model, capacity, or connection type. Unraid's NAS functionality consists of a parity-protected array, user shares, and an optional cache ...
Distributed block storage is a computer data storage architecture that the data is stored in volumes (known as blocks, a term dating back to Project Stretch [1]) across multiple physical servers, as opposed to other storage architectures like file systems which manages data as a file hierarchy, and object storage which manages data as objects.
Computer data storage or digital data storage is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to retain digital data. It is a core function and fundamental component of computers. [1]: 15–16 The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is what manipulates data by performing computations.
