65


SAS

66


SASA typical Serial Attached SCSI system would consist of the following basic components: An Initiator is a device that originates device service and task management requests to be processed by a target device and receives responses for the same requests from other target devices. Initiators may be provided as an on-board component on the motherboard (as is the case with many serveroriented motherboards) or as an add-on host bus adapter. A Target is a device containing logical units and target ports that receives device service and task management requests for processing and sends responses for the same requests to initiator devices. A target device could be a hard disk or a disk array system. A Service Delivery Subsystem is the part of an I/O system that transmits information between an initiator and a target. Typically cables connecting an initiator and target with or without expanders constitute a service delivery subsystem. Expanders are devices that are part of a service delivery subsystem and facilitate communication between SAS devices. It facilitates connection of multiple SAS End devices to a single initiator port.

Solid-state drive

69


Solid-state drive

A solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. Unlike flashbased memory cards and USB flash drives, an SSD emulates a hard disk drive interface, thus easily replacing it in most applications. An SSD using SRAM or DRAM (instead of flash memory) is often called a RAM-drive.

70


Solid-state drive features

An SSD is commonly composed of either DRAM volatile memory or NAND flash nonvolatile memory. They are often packaged in standard disk drive form factors (1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, and 3.5-inch).

71


Solid-state drive advantages Faster start-up, as no spin-up is required (RAM & Flash). Typically, fast random access for reading, as there is no read/write head to move (RAM & Flash).

Extremely low read latency times, as SSD seek-times are orders of magnitude lower than the best current hard disk drives. (RAM) In applications where hard disk seeks are the limiting factor, this results in faster boot and application launch times (RAM &Flash). Extremely fast write (RAM, nearly the same for best modern flash). No noise: a lack of moving parts makes SSDs completely silent, unless, as in the case of some high-end and high-capacity models, they have cooling fans attached (RAM & Flash).

Backup Device

210


Basic Backup WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BACK UP, RESTORE, AND ARCHIVE? Data backup is the process of transferring data from your company's primary computer system to a separate storage device, such as a tape drive. If the original data is lost or damaged, you can restore the information from the device and resume normal business operations. An archive is a long-term, permanent data backup, which is kept off-site.

Backup Policies Conti

FULL BACKUPS A full backup copies all the files on the system . the system files, the software files, and the data files.You should perform a full backup on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. With a full backup of your data set on tape, you can restore your entire system if a disaster destroys the original files. TIP: If your data set is small,

215


Backup Policies ContiPARTIAL BACKUPS A partial backup copies all files that have been added or changed since the last backup job. There are two main types of partial backups: incremental and differential, summarized in the table below. TIP: For any crucial files that would be difficult to re-create, you can perform a selective backup at any time during the day. With this method, you don t need to wait until the next scheduled backup to copy the crucial files. INCREMENTAL BACKUPS If you need to save time and cost during regular backup jobs, choose a plan that includes full and incremental backups. In this strategy, you perform a regular backup of all files (weekly, bi-weekly, etc.), then a more frequent backup (daily) of only the files that have changed since the last backup session. This full/incremental backup method means that fewer files need to be copied and less time is required for the backup procedure. However, this method can also make a complete system restore slower if you have created many different incremental backup tapes (one for each day of the week, for example), or if you need to restore only a particular file and must hunt through several different incremental back tapes

216


Backup Policies Conti

DIFFERENTIAL BACKUPS If you need to save on restore time and hassle in the event of a disaster, choose a plan that includes full and differential backups. In this strategy, you perform a regular backup of all files (weekly, bi-weekly, etc.), then a more frequent backup (daily) of all files that have changed since the last full backup session. This full/differential backup method helps the restore process run more efficiently, because only one full backup tape and one differential backup tape are required for a complete restore of the system. However, this method is slower on the backup process because more files are copied daily.

DAT

Digital Audio Tape (DAT or R-DAT) was a signal recording and playback medium developed by Sony and introduced in 1987. In appearance it is similar to a compact audio cassette, using 4 mm magnetic tape enclosed in a protective shell, but is roughly half the size at 73 mm 54 mm 10.5 mm. As the name suggests, the recording is digital rather than analog. The technology of DAT is closely based on that of video recorders, using a rotating head and helical scan to record data. This prevents DATs from being physically edited in the cut-and-splice manner of analog tapes

Technology overview.

Digital Linear Tape (DLT) (previously called CompacTape) is a magnetic tape data storage technology developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from 1984 onwards. In 1994 the technology was purchased by Quantum Corporation, who currently manufactures drives and licenses the technology and trademark. A variant with higher capacity is called Super DLT (SDLT). DLT uses linear serpentine recording with multiple tracks on half-inch (12.7 mm) wide tape. The cartridges contain a single reel and the tape is pulled out of the cartridge by means of a leader tape attached to the takeup reel inside the drive. The drive leader tape is buckled to the cartridge leader during the load process. Tape speed and tension are controlled electronically via the reel motors, The tape is guided by 4 to 6 rollers that touch only the back side of the tape. Tape material is metal particle tape (MP/AMP.)
