Web Server Design chapters 1 - 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Active Server Pages.NET (ASP.NET) - The latest generation of programming environment that allows for more productive programming, it is used to create dynamic pages. Based on Active Server Pages (ASP), this Web-based programming language was created by M | |
| backbone | A high-speed network that connects other networks. |
| bandwidth | The theoretical maximum number of bits that can be sent in one second. |
| Berkeley Systems Distribution (BSD) | A UNIX standard distributed by Berkeley Systems. Examples of the BSD implementation include FreeBSD and SunOS. |
| database management system (DBMS) | A system that stores data on a computer in an organized format. It typically uses SQL as the language to define and manipulate the data, and stores data in an organized manner for processing. |
| digital subscriber line (DSL) | Allows you to transfer data at high speeds over conventional telephone lines. |
| domain | In Windows, a logical grouping of computers that administrators use to organize common resource needs. |
| file system | A data structure that provides the input and output mechanisms for an operating system. |
| File Transfer Protocol (FTP) | A Web service that allows users to upload and download files. |
| firewall | Software that implements an access control policy between networks. When you want to keep the attackers out, but let legitimate users in, you typically filter IP packets between two networks. |
| GNU General Public License | A license intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software, thereby making sure the software is free for all its users. |
| Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) | A protocol that defines how information is passed between the browser and the Web server. |
| Internet service provider (ISP) | The organization that provides you with a connection to the Internet. |
| JavaServer Pages (JSP) | A Web-based scripting language that uses a subset of the Java language. The code is compiled into a Java servlet before it runs for the first time after changes are made to the file. |
| kernel | The central, high-security portion of the UNIX/Linux operating system that contains its core elements. |
| local area network (LAN) | A group of connected computers along with the devices and media that connect them. |
| network access point (NAP) | Each NAP provides a major Internet connection point. |
| Open Source Interconnection (OSI) model | A model that defines the building blocks that divide data communication into discrete parts. |
| PHP Hypertext Protocol (PHP) | A Web-based scripting language commonly used with Apache Web servers. Also called PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. |
| protocol | A set of communication rules. |
| Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) | The suite of protocols used in data communication. |
| wide area network (WAN) | Primarily a public, shared network that connects regions and countries. |
| application server | A server that focuses on processing information. For example, a server that contains a DBMS is an application server. |
| bottleneck | The component of the server that causes system performance to slow, thereby keeping parts of the system from working optimally. |
| bus | The path that data travels between devices. |
| Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) | A processor architecture that emphasizes the number of different instructions the processor can understand. |
| contention | A state of data transfer where the more traffic there is, the slower it travels. |
| database management system (DBMS) | A system that stores data on a computer in an organized format. It typically uses SQL as the language to define and manipulate the data, and stores data in an organized manner for processing. |
| dynamic Web page | A page that contains programming statements to customize its output. A number of languages can be used to create dynamic Web pages, including PHP, Perl, ASP, and ASP.NET. |
| Ethernet | A network technology that connects multiple devices, such as PCs and printers, on a LAN, and passes information from one device to another. |
| fault tolerance | The ability of a system to keep running even when a component fails. |
| file system | A data structure that provides the input and output mechanisms for an operating system. |
| GNU General Public License | A license intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software, thereby making sure the software is free for all its users. |
| host | An individual computer on a network. |
| hub | A device used to connect computers. Because hubs are shared devices, as more computers use a hub, traffic can slow. |
| Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) | The most common hard drive interface available. The controlling electronics are integrated with the hard drive. |
| Internet service provider (ISP) | The organization that provides you with a connection to the Internet. |
| intranet | A private network. |
| network access point (NAP) | Each NAP provides a major Internet connection point. |
| redundant array of inexpensive/independent disks (RAID) | Allows multiple drives to operate together as a single drive. A variety of configurations are available. |
| Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) | Processor architecture that focuses on very efficiently processing few types of instructions. |
| router | A device used to connect one network with another. It can serve many purposes, including connecting an internal network to the Internet. |
| Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) | A parallel interface that allows multiple devices to communicate with the local system at the same time. It is commonly used to connect multiple hard drives to a server. |
| switch | A device that allows computers to communicate as if they were directly connected to one another. It produces a virtual connection between the computers. |
| boot loader | The program that starts the operating system. |
| client access license (CAL) | A Microsoft license that allows a client computer to connect to a server. |
| ext3 | The most recent Red Had Linux file system. |
| File Allocation Table (FAT) | A file system for Windows that is compatible with all Microsoft operating systems, but offers no security. |
| file system | A data structure that provides the input and output mechanisms for an operating system. |
| GNOME | A GUI available for Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD. |
| GNU General Public License | A license intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software, thereby making sure the software is free for all its users. |
| K Desktop Environment (KDE) | A GUI available for Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD. |
| Master boot record (MBR) | A sector on the hard disk that contains the boot loader program. |
| multi-boot system | A computer with multiple operating systems. Typically, a menu allows you to choose the desired operating system. |
| NTFS | A high-performance file system for Windows that supports access control and auditing of files and folders. |
| partition | A logical division of the hard disk. |
| partition, extended | The part of the drive where more system partitions can be created. |
| partition, primary | The part of the drive that starts the boot process. |
| per seat license | An agreement for using software in a network environments with multiple servers. Each client computer has its own license and can connect to as many servers as you have. |
| per server license | An agreement for using software in a client/server configuration where all client computers do not need to connect to the server at the same time. |
| Service Pack | A file issued by Microsoft with improvements and corrections to an operating system after it has been installed. |
| single-boot system | A computer with only one operating system. |
| System V | A UNIX standard distributed by AT&T and Sun. Solaris is the most popular example of a System V system. |
