Hard Disk Drive (Magnetic Disk) | - data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information - consists of one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces |
Hard Disk Structure | - Block, cylinder and sector structure - Block contains 512 bytes |
Seek Time | Average Time to change from a random track to another track (3-12 msec) |
Latency Time | Time to mechanical change track, depends on rotation speed, half period of rotation (5-2 msec) |
RAID (Redundant array of independent disks) | - storage technology that combines multiple disks drive components into logical unit for the purpose of data redundancy and performance improvements - Data distributed across the drives in one or several ways, referred to as RAID levels |
RAID 0 (block level striping) | - no redundancies - improved performance and additional storage - no fault tolerance - any drive failure destroys whole array |
RAID 1 (mirroring without parity or striping) | - data written identically to two drives, producing a "mirrored set" - read request is serviced by either of the drives |
RAID 5 (block level striping with distributed parity) | - distributes parity along with the data - not destroyed by single drive failure - any subsequent reads can be calculated from the distributed parity, in case of failure - at least 3 disks |
Flash Memory | - also Computer memory - particular type of "electronically erasable programmable read-online memory" (EEPROM) - often used in portable electronics |
Flash Memory - Speed Advantage | - differs from regular EEPROM because it can delete data in entire blocks - preferable technology for applications that require constant, large data updates |
Flash Memory - General Advantages | - non volatile, solid state - no moving parts - silent - smaller than HDD - highly portable - much faster access time |
File System | - used to control how information is stored and retrieved - without it -> one large body of information where we don't know the end and the beginning - part of operating system |
Operating System | - collection of software - manages computer hardware resources - provides common service for computer programs |
Cloud Computing (CC) | - synonym for distributed computing over a network - ability to run programs on many computers at the same time |
Cloud Clients | Applications work like with every other operating system Customized operation system is accessible from everywhere in the internet |
Software as a Service (SaaS) | users are provided access to application software and databases (CRM, Email, communication, games, virtual desktop) |
Platform as a Service (PaaS) | - Cloud providers deliver a computing platform - typically including operation system, database and web server |
Infrastructure as a Serice (IaaS) | - providers of IaaS offer computer-, physical or virtual machines and other resources |
Properties of CC | - On demand Self-Service - Broad Network Access - Ressource Pooling - Rapid elasticity - Measured service |
