RAID 10
RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1, striping and disk mirroring.
RAID Level 10 combines the fast performance of Level 0 with the data
redundancy of Level 1. In this configuration, data is distributed across several
drives, similar to Level 0. Then the data are duplicated to another set of drives
for data protection. RAID 10 provides the highest read/write performance of any
of the hybrid RAID levels.
RAID 0+1
RAID 0+1 is a mirrored array whose segments are RAID 0 arrays. It has the same
fault tolerance as RAID 5, and the same overhead for fault tolerance as mirroring
alone. This RAID has excellent performance, but not maximum reliability.
Rack mount
Ordinarily, a 19-inch rack (cabinet) in which servers or drive units made to fit
such a rack are mounted. A rack mount kit is hardware, such as sliding rails,
for mounting devices in such a rack.
Router
A repeater for connecting multiple networks. A router determines the optimum
path (route) for forwarding received data, and provides control over a higher
level of processing than a device such as a hub. A router is used in constructing
medium- to large-scale networks.
Server
A computer that provides many types of services to computers attached to it.
Examples include file servers, Web servers, and data servers.
Service
A task (sometimes known as a process) or application that resides in the system
and runs in the background. Also referred to as a daemon or driver.
Subnet mask
A number that is used for dividing IP addresses used on a TCP/IP network into
network numbers and host numbers. This method is used to allow different
networks that are connected through a router to recognize that they are
different networks.
