23
Q

What is HSM?

Study These Flashcards
A

Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) is a data storage technique, which automatically moves data between high-cost and low-cost storage media.

24
Q

What is CMS?

Study These Flashcards
A

A Content Management System (CMS) is a computer application that supports the creation and modification of digital content. It typically supports multiple users in a collaborative environment.

25
What are the features of a Centralised Multimedia Content Catalogue?
* Gives users **immediate access** to all content. * Allows for **tracking and searching** of metadata. * Uses **Business Process Management (BPM)** to automate back-office and end-user tasks. * Has broadcast **analysis tools**. * Allows for servers to be **load balanced** to increase efficiency.
26
What is TCO?
**Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)** is a financial estimate intended to help buyers and owners determine the direct and indirect costs of a product or system.
27
What is LTFS?
**Linear Tape File System (LTFS)** is a file system that allows files stored on magnetic tape to be accessed in a similar fashion to those on disk or removable flash drives. It requires both a specific format of data on the tape media and software to provide a file system interface to the data.
28
What are the attributes of Tier 0 in Tiered Archival Storage?
* Comprises **1% - 3%** of system storage. * The content is **1 day old** or less. * Deemed as **High Value** and **High Performance**.
29
What are the attributes of Tier 1 in Tiered Archival Storage?
* Comprises **12% - 20%** of system storage. * The content is **1 - 3 days old**. * Deemed as **Mission Critical**.
30
What are the attributes of Tier 2 in Tiered Archival Storage?
* Comprises **20% - 25%** of system storage. * The content is **3 - 7 days old**. * Deemed as **Less Critical / Recoverable**.
31
What are the attributes of Tier 3 in Tiered Archival Storage?
* Comprises **43% - 60%** of system storage. * The content is **7 - 39 days old**. * Deemed as **Long Term Archival**.
32
What are the attributes of Tier 4 in Tiered Archival Storage?
* The content is **90+ days old**. * Deemed as **H****istorically Archived Data**.
33
What advantages does digital tape offer as a storage medium?
* Tape media life is **30+ years**. * Can be faster than disks as **Random Array of Independent Disks (RAID)** rebuild times increase as capacity grows.
34
What is RAID?
**Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)** is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into one or more logical units for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both.
35
How does RAID Parity work?
Random Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Parity works by calculating the data in two drives and storing the results on a third.
36
What is RAID Level 0?
**Random Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Level 0** is where disks are striped (containing entirely different information) which **improves performance** but **reduces redundancy**.
37
What is RAID Level 1?
**Random Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Level 1** is where disks are mirrored (containing identical copies of information) which **reduces performance** but **improves** **redundancy**.
38
What is RAID Level 5?
**Random Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Level 5** requires a minimum of three disks * Is the most cost effective option, **both good performance and redundancy**. * Blocks are redundant as **parity is distributed** across all disks. * Recommended for setups comprised of mainly **read operations** as write operations are significantly slower.
39
What is RAID Level 10?
**Random Array of Independent Disks (RAID) Level 10** is where all disks are both striped and mirrored. * This **increases cost** but also increases redundancy and performance. * Best for use in **mission critical** contexts.
