HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol
Secure)
The HTTP protocol using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
SSL provides data encryption, server authentication,
message integrity, and client authentication for any TCP/IP
connection.
I/O (Input/Output)
The operation of transferring data to or from a device,
typically through an interface protocol like CIFS, NFS, or
HTTP. The SnapServer presents a file system to the user
and handles block I/O internally to a RAID array.
Inheritance
In Windows permissions, inheritance is the concept that
when permissions for a folder are defined, any subfolders
within the defined folder inherit its permissions. This means
an administrator need not assign permissions for subfolders
as long as identical permissions are desired. Inheritance
greatly reduces administrative overhead and also results in
greater consistency in access permission management.
IP (Internet Protocol) address
The unique 32-bit value that identifies the location of the
server. This address consists of a network address, optional
subnetwork address, and host address. It displays as four
addresses ranging from 1 to 255
separated by periods.
iSCSI (Internet SCSI)
iSCSI is a standard that defines the encapsulation of SCSI
packets in TCP and then routing it using IP. It allows block-
level storage data to be transported over widely used IP
networks.
Jukebox
A robotic tape backup device that stores numerous tape
drives and uses a mechanical arm to bring the drive to a
station for reading and writing.
JVM (Java Virtual Machine)
Software that converts Java bytecode into machine
language and executes it. A JVM allows an application such
as SnapServer Manager written in Java to run on any
operating system.
Kerberos
A secure method for authenticating a request for a service
used by ADS. Kerberos lets a user request an encrypted
“ticket” from an authentication process that can then be
used to request a service from a server. The user
credentials are always encrypted before they are
transmitted over the network.
In Windows 2000/XP, the domain controller is the Kerberos
server. The Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) and the
origin of group policies are applied to the domain.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
An electronic device that uses liquid crystal to display
messages on some SnapServers.
