F - Definitions

  • F

    failover

    Failover is a backup operational mode in which the functions of a system component are assumed by a secondary component when the primary becomes unavailable.

  • Fibre Channel

    Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology primarily used for transmitting data among data centers, computer servers, switches and storage at data rates of up to 128 Gbps.

  • Fibre Channel (FC) port types

    A Fibre Channel port is a hardware pathway into and out of a node that performs data communications over an FC link.

  • Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

    Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FcoE) is a storage protocol that enables Fibre Channel (FC) communications to run directly over Ethernet.

  • Fibre Channel switch (FC switch)

    A Fibre Channel (FC) switch is a networking device that's compatible with the FC protocol and designed for use in a dedicated storage area network (SAN).

  • file synchronization (file sync)

    File synchronization (file sync) is a method of keeping files that are stored in several different physical locations up to date.

  • file system

    In computing, a file system -- sometimes written filesystem -- is a logical and physical system for organizing, managing and accessing the files and directories on a device's solid-state drive (SSD), hard-disk drive (HDD) or other media.

  • flash controller (flash memory controller)

    A flash controller is the part of solid-state flash memory that communicates with the host device and manages the flash file system directory.

  • flash memory

    Flash memory, also known as flash storage, is a type of nonvolatile memory that erases data in units called blocks and rewrites data at the byte level.

  • flash memory card

    A flash memory card -- sometimes called a storage card -- is a small storage device that uses non-volatile semiconductor memory to store data on portable or remote computing devices.

  • flash solid-state drive (SSD)

    A flash solid-state drive (SSD) is a non-volatile storage device that stores persistent data in flash memory.

  • flash storage

    Flash storage is any type of drive, repository or system that uses flash memory to write and store data for an extended period.

  • floating gate transistor (FGT)

    A floating gate transistor (FGT) is a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology capable of holding an electrical charge in a memory device that is used to store data.
