B Glossary of Storage-Related Terms & Acronyms A ACL: Access Control List. Used within network security systems to allow selective use of services. An Access Control List is used to control access to, and denial of, services. It lists the services available with a corresponding list of the hosts permitted to use the service. Active Directory: A Microsoft directory service for use in Windows environments. Administrators use Active Directory to assign enterprise wide policies, deploy programs to many computers, and apply critical updates to an entire organization. Active Directory functions much like an online phone book, storing information about resources on the network while providing a means of centrally organizing, managing, and controlling access to these resources. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): A block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government. Aggregation: The act of collecting something together. In Network Storage Aggregation, you can put together pieces of networked storage into one, logical storage unit. B Bonjour: Apple's version of the Zeroconf. Used to automatically configure devices and discover services on an IP network, Bonjour is the most widely used implementation of Zeroconf. On the Mac, Bonjour lets Safari Web browser users find the Zeroconf-enabled Web servers in the network. Web servers are widely used not just for HTML pages, but function as control panels for a variety of network devices such as routers and Webcams. There is also a Bonjour plug-in for Internet Explorer which is used to discover Bonjour-enabled network printers and devices. (It was originally named Rendezvous.)
