Glossary
AFP
AppleTalk Filing Protocol\ is the standard way Mac OS 9 and earlier versions share
files across the network.
CIFS
Common Internet File System, a standard protocol that Windows users use to share
files across the network. Mac OS X also has the capability to share files using CIFS.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol, a common protocol adopted by many OS to enable remote file
download and upload for public sharing.
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the protocol Web browsers use to connect to Web
servers for file access, typically Web pages.
HTTPS
HTTP with SSL encryption is used where secure Web access is desired.
NFS
Network File System, a common way Unix and Linux systems share files by making
remote file systems appear to reside locally.
Quota
Amount of volume space allocated to a particular user or group account, or to a
particular share. The user, group, or share with a set quota cannot exceed disk usage
beyond this limit. Quota is typically specified to ensure that no one user, group, or
share abuses the available storage space.
RAID
Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Basically it is a method of storing data on
multiple disks in a way that if one disk fails, data can still be accessed from the other
disks. A RAID level selects how data will be kept redundant, the most popular of
which are levels 0, 1, and 5. Contrary to the RAID acronym, RAID level 0 does not
provide any redundancy. For more information, see
Appendix A, “RAID Levels
Simplified
.”.
Share
A folder on a NAS volume that can be shared among different network file services
such as CIFS for Windows, AFP (AppleTalk File Protocol) for Macs, NFS for Unix/
Linux, FTP, and HTTP. Access to the share can be customized on a user or group or
host-level basis.
Snapshot
An instantaneous, non-changing, read-only image of a volume. Snapshots are useful
for backups.While a snapshot is being taken, the original volume can continue to
operate normally. Snapshots can also be utilized as a temporary backup in case of
viruses. Files can be restored from the snapshot volume if current files are corrupted.
Volume
A file system built on top of a RAID set. This file system consists of shares that are
made available through various network file services.
