Do you know what TCP/IP means? (Hint: You’re using it right now.) What about CDMA? Or GPT? While the concepts and execution of these technologies are clear to most of us who have been on the internet nearly our whole lives, the acronyms we use to define them are often inscrutable. On this week’s episode, […]
What is Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)? Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the transfer of data from one computer system to another by standardized message formatting without the need for human intervention. The goal of EDI is to replace manual processes that involve the exchange of documents with a fully autonomous one. EDI permits multiple companies […]

What is high availability (HA)? High availability (HA) is the ability of a system to operate continuously for a designated period of time even if components within the system fail. A highly available system meets an agreed-upon operational performance level by eliminating single points of failure. This is accomplished by including redundant components that serve […]

What is GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment)? GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment) is a graphical user interface (GUI) and set of computer desktop applications for Linux operating system (OS) users. It’s intended to make a Linux OS easy to use for nonprogrammers. GNOME generally corresponds to the Windows desktop interface and its most […]
What is free cooling? Free cooling is an approach to lowering the air temperature in a building or data center by using naturally cool air or water instead of mechanical refrigeration. In practice, free cooling is not entirely free because pumps, fans, and other air and water-handling equipment is needed. That equipment also requires periodic […]
What is power cycling? Power cycling is the process of turning hardware off and then turning it on again. In the data center, technicians use power cycling to test the durability and reliability of network components. It is commonplace for servers to operate for months or even years without a reboot or disruption. These long […]
