TERM OF THE DAY - "MULTI-THREADING"

Threads refer to the smallest and simplest executable segment a programmed instruction . Threads are independently managed by a scheduler ( typically part of an operating system ) . Any process consists of multiple threads , which share the resources such as memory allocations . Multi-threading enables time-division multiplexing , where the processor switches between various software threads , thereby resulting in  several processes to be simultaneously executed by the operating system .

Multi-threading has several advantages :

1               Multi-threading results in enhanced responsiveness .
2              Faster execution .
3             Optimized use of System variables .
4              Lesser resource intensive .
5             Simplified sharing and parallelism .

Term of the day – Netapp Storage

Netapp storage refers to both hardware and software solutions provided by Netapp for data storage to various organisations .Hardware and software work together to provide higher efficiency and low costs across all tiers of data storage equipment .It aims to reduce bloated space which is necessary to store IT data such as snapshot copies , backup and failover protection .

 It includes different storage appliance solution such as different fabric attached storage (FAS) hybrid storage arrays , which are meant to be connected  to the cloud using a unified architecture , which includes a broad set of NAS and SAN workloads faster than entry-level  hybrid arrays .This also includes the storage operating system Data OnTap , using a unified storage architecture that is meant to drive efficiency in the infrastructure layer in order to help control cost and increase efficiency .

This is very important for cloud computing and virtualised environment .
