A server that connects to the shared storage device. This type of software connects to and communicates with the SAN target.

All SAN storage devices are called this.

This is a protocol used in TCP/IP networks' data storage solutions. The advantage is the speed of data flow.

This is an approach to network management that lets you centrally control (or program) a network intelligently using a software application. This helps make the management of the entire network consistent regardless of the underlying network technology.

These components make up a SAN (select all that apply)

This SAN component connects the SAN using a NIC or a host bus adapter (HBA). An HBA is a circuit board that is inserted into a computer motherboard, just like a NIC.

This SAN component are typically dis arrays, tape libraries, or optical jukeboxes.

This SAN component consists of SAN hubs, SAN switches, & network cables.

This was designed for high-performance supercomputers. It features high throughput and very low latency. It can be used in a SAN as well as between clustered computers.

This was developed to lower the cost of Fibre Channel.

Like iSCSI, it uses standard Ethernet switches and physical connections.

Unlike iSCSI, which can run on slower Ethernets, it requires 10 gigabit ethernet.

This uses network protocols that encapsulate certain commands within the IP packets and transmit them over a standard Ethernet network. To build redundancy:

Install two dedicated Ethernet NICs in each server.

Deploy two dedicated Ethernet switches by connecting each server to each switch.

Deploy the shared storage devices.

This uses fiber optic cabling, network adapters, and switches to build the SAN fabric.

To build a redundant version of this:

Install two HBAs in each server.

Deploy two switches by connecting each server to each switch.

Deploy shared devices.

This SAN technology:

Cost: Least expensive

Specialization: No specialized hardware

Speed: Limited to Ethernet speeds

Distance: Accommodates longer distances, but introduces latency

This SAN technology:

Cost: More expensive

Specialization: Requires specialized hardware

Speed: Faster

Distance: Up to 10 km

This SAN technology:

Cost: Less expensive than FC

Specialization: No specialized hardware, but requires specialized knowledge

Speed: Limited to Ethernet speeds

Distance: Accommodates longer distance, but introduces latency

This SAN technology:

Cost: Most expensive

Specialization: Requires hardware and knowledge

Speed: Fastest

Distance: Short distances (less than 300 m)

This moves large amounts of data, enabling this in an iSCSI or FCoE SAN can increase performance of the SAN.

SDN component: the layer in which various applications reside. One example of an app in this layer is an app that creates the network map of all the devices in the network. Another example is a load balancer app that stops and starts VMs as resource use increases.

The layer in which the brains resides in a SDN network.

The layer in which the switches, routers, and other network appliances reside.

The interface that the administrator uses to configure network devices and monitor performance.

The API that connects the control layer and application layer. This also refers to the __________ traffic with a SDN.

The API that connects the control layer with the infrastructure layer. This is __________ traffic.

In a SDN, TOR stands for?

The heart of any VoIP system. Also known as a VoIP PBX or IP-PBX.

The main role is to provide a switching mechanism to connect internal calls between VoIP clients. It provides many functions such as: call waiting, call transfer, conferencing, & voice mail.

Accounts have usernames and passwords to provide authentication and security.

These are the clients of a VoIP server.

Hard and soft phones.

This converts voice and fac calls between the PSTN and the IP network in real time.

They are generally smaller, less costly, and more specialized than VoIP servers.

This resides on top of transport layer protocols like TCP, UDP, and SCTP to assemble and distribute VoIP data throughout your network. Due to QoS considerations, UDP is most commonly used. SIP is an open source VoIP _______.

This is a special algorithm that compresses VoIP data to reduce bandwidth consumption.

This determines the sound quality of the VoIP call and the amount of bandwidth that it will require.

A VoIP system's default should be adequate for small organizations.

In VoIP, audio is converted from an analog signal to digital data through a technique called

This is a measure of delay as a packet of data travels from one point to another. Too much of this causes VoIP callers to talk over each other.

This is a variation in the delay or latency of received packets. Latency going up and down during a call can cause unusual sound effects (minor pauses, jumps, choppiness).

Appliances that plug directly into your network and provide a wide variety of communication services, such as voice, voicemail, instant messaging, and faxing.
