Ορολογία της Ημέρας (T.O.D) – 8/2/2017 [Hybrid Cloud Storage]

hybrid cloud storage

Hybrid cloud storage is an approach to managing storage that uses both local and off-site resources.

Hybrid cloud storage is often used to supplement internal storage with public cloud storage. Policy engines keep frequently used data on-site while simultaneously moving inactive data to the cloud in a transparent manner.

Ideally, a hybrid cloud implementation behaves as if it is homogeneous storage. Hybrid cloud storage is most often implemented by using proprietary commercial storage software, by using a cloud storage appliance that serves as a gateway between on-premise and public cloud storage or by using an application program interface (API) to access the cloud storage.

GoogleTranslate & αυτομάτως Ιαπωνικά!

Posted on February 7, 2017 by admin

Google Translate could already translate Japanese text into English from a captured photo, but now the app skips a step, letting you point your camera at signs, menus and other things that might contain printed Japanese words, and get a translation to English on the fly (and vice versa). The feature is available via Word…

via Google Translate now provides live translation of Japanese text — TechCrunch

Google Maps & γειτονιές με δύσκολο parking…& έχει & συνέχεια

Posted on February 5, 2017 by admin

A new feature in Google Maps will help you find parking – or rather, it will mentally prepare you for how difficult it will be to find a parking space at your destination. Google says it’s now using “historical parking data” to calculate a parking difficulty score, which will be displayed in Google Maps’ directions card…

via Google Maps will now tell you how bad the parking is at your destination — TechCrunch

IBM -support for Google’s Tensorflow to PowerAI machine learning framework

Posted on February 4, 2017 by admin

PowerAI is IBM’s machine learning framework for companies that use servers based on its Power processors and NVIDIA’s NVLink high-speed interconnects that allow for data to pass extremely quickly between the processor and the GPU that does most of the deep learning calculations. Today, the company announced that PowerAI now supports Google’s popular Tensorflow machine… Read More

Ορολογία της Ημέρας (T.O.D) – 3/2/2017 [Hypervisor-aware storage]

Posted on February 3, 2017 by admin

Hypervisor-aware storage is a category of storage array that provides administrators with the ability to correlate an application on a virtual machine (VM) with the underlying physical storage.

One of the challenges of traditional storage systems in server virtualization environments has been provisioning and managing storage at the logical unit number (LUN) level. Typically, a LUN is assigned to a physical server and storage from the LUN is then assigned to a VM. Continue reading →

Ορολογία της Ημέρας (T.O.D) – 2/2/2017 [Web Application Firewall (WAF)]

Posted on February 2, 2017 by admin

A Web application firewall (WAF) is a firewall that monitors, filters or blocks the HTTP traffic to and from a Web application.

A WAF can be either network-based or host-based and is typically deployed through a proxy and placed in front of one or more Web applications. In real time or near-real time, it monitors traffic before it reaches the Web application, analyzing all requests, using a rule base to filter out potentially harmful traffic or traffic patterns. Web application firewalls are a common security control used by enterprises to protect Web applications against zero-day exploits and known vulnerabilities and attacks.

WAFs started to gain attention when PCI DSS compliance was mandated for merchants that process payment card transactions. PCI DSS requires that Web applications be fortified through either a code security review or a WAF.

Ορολογία της Ημέρας (T.O.D) – 1/2/2017 [MEMS (microelectromechanical system)]

Posted on February 1, 2017 by admin

A MEMS (microelectromechanical system) is a miniature machine that has both mechanical and electronic components. The physical dimension of a MEMS can range from several millimeters to less than one micrometer, a dimension many times smaller than the width of a human hair. Continue reading →

Ορολογία της Ημέρας (T.O.D) – 29/1/2017 [Machine Learning]

Posted on January 30, 2017 by admin

Machine learning is an area of computer science and statistical modeling that allows a computer program to predict an outcome or make a decision without being explicitly programmed to do so.

Machine learning, which forms the basis for artificial intelligence (AI), is closely tied to data analytics and data mining programming. Continue reading →

Ορολογία της Ημέρας (T.O.D) – 28/1/2017 [Memory Ballooning]

Posted on January 28, 2017 by admin

Memory ballooning is a memory management technique that allows a physical host to take advantage of unused memory on its guest virtual machines (VMs).

When a host OS is short on physical memory, the hypervisor polls balloon drivers installed on the guests to request available memory. The guests respond by using page-reclaiming algorithms to determine which pages are available and can be assigned to the balloon drivers. The process of assigning available pages to the driver is known as inflating the balloon. Releasing available pages is known as deflating the balloon. Continue reading →
