Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) |
A computer bus PCI, which uses the existing PCI programming concepts and communication standards, but builds a faster serial communication system. Intel is the main sponsor for PCIe. PCIe is used only for internal interconnection. A PCI system can be transformed to a PCIe one by modifying the physical layer instead of software. PCIe delivers a faster speed and can replace almost all AGP and PCI buses. |
R
redundancy |
A mechanism that allows a backup device to automatically take over services from a faulty device to ensure uninterrupted running of the system. |
|---|---|
redundant array of independent disks (RAID) |
A storage technology that combines multiple physical drives into a logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy and performance improvement. |
