Since the beginning of modern IT, the challenge of memory exhaustion has been handled by a diverse set of capabilities, usually grouped under the heading of memory management.
DIMM stands for Dual In-Line Memory Module, a type of computer memory that is natively 64 bits, enabling fast data transfer.
RAM and ROM are two types of memory crucial to the proper functioning of a computer. Learn about the differences and similarities between RAM vs. ROM.
Phase Change Memory is an emerging area of technology that offers the promise of faster speed and increased durability over existing Flash storage devices.
Disk fragmentation is a common occurrence in modern operating systems and applications as data storage is often allocated in an non-sequential approach.
Migrating data is a challenging process with some significant risks attached. It is essential to plan, execute, and test as effectively as possible.
Systems that cannot be allowed to fail require fault tolerance. Learn about the systems and technology of fault tolerance and how your business can achieve it.
The primary distinctions between memory and storage are between volatility and non-volatility, and between performance and capacity.
Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a type or random access memory (RAM) found in modern desktop and laptop computers today, including Windows PCs and Apple Macs.
Find out why disaster recovery tests are essential to all IT organizations, and how to carry them out successfully and efficiently.
A vital part of every computer system, random access memory (RAM) provides short term storage space for data and program code.
Internet Small Computer Systems Interface is a transport layer protocol that works on top of the Transport Control Protocol (TCP), and enables block-level SCSI data transport between the iSCSI initiator and the storage target over TCP/IP networks.
Learn how implementing a business continuity plan (BCP) can safeguard both your business and IT operations from major emergencies.
Learn what a computer's virtual memory is, how virtual memory works, and the difference between virtual memory and physical memory.
The most basic distinction is between types of computer memory is between primary memory - often called system memory - and secondary memory, which is more commonly called storage.
Despite the cloud now housing a significant amount of storage, disaster recovery sites remain a vital part of enterprise data storage requirements for many companies.
Direct attached storage is data storage that is connected directly to a computer, as opposed to storage that is connected to a computer over a network.
IDE, AHCI and RAID are operating modes in SATA environments, yet each have key advantages and disadvantages.
Whether hardware or software, RAID is available in different schemes, or RAID levels. The most commonly levels are RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. RAID 0, 1, and 5 work on both HDD and SSD media.
Nimble Storage and Tegile Systems have long been competitors in the data storage market. Take a look at these top vendors to learn the pros and cons of each.
