Disk Attachment

Disk Attachment
Disk drives can be connected either directly to a particular host (a local disk) or to a network.

Host-Attached Storage
* Local disks are retrieved through I/O Ports as described earlier.
* The most common links are IDE or ATA, each of which allow up to two drives per host controller.
* SATA is similar with simpler cabling.
* High end workstations or other systems in use of larger number of disks typically use SCSI disks:
• The SCSI standard helps up to 16 targets on each SCSI bus, one of which is 
normally the host adapter and the 15 other of which can be disk or tape drives.
• A SCSI target is usually a single drive, but the standard also bears up to 8 units 
within each target. These would generally be used for retrieving individual disks 
within a RAID array. (See below.)
• The SCSI standard also assists multiple host adapters in a single computer, i.e. 
multiple SCSI busses.
• Modern advancements in SCSI include "fast" and "broad" versions, as well as 
SCSI-2.
• SCSI cables may be anyone 50 or 68 conductors. SCSI devices may be exterior as well as interior.
* FC is a high-speed serial architecture that can handle over optical fiber or four-conductor copper wires, and has two variants:
• A large switched fabric has a 24-bit address space. This variant allows for 
multiple devices and multiple hosts to linked, forming the basis for the 
storage-area networks, SANs, to be talk over in a future section.
• The actuated loop, FC-AL that can address up to 126 devices (drives and 
controllers.)

Network-Attached Storage
* Network attached storage connects storage devices to computers using a remote procedure call, RPC, interface, typically with something like NFS file system mounts. This is easy for permiting several computers in a group common access and naming 
conventions for shared storage.
* NAS can be executed using SCSI cabling, or ISCSI uses Internet protocols and standard network connections, allowing long-distance remote access to shared files.
* NAS permits computers to easily share data storage, but tends to be less efficient than standard host-attached storage.
Storage-Areaa Network
* A Storage-Area Network, SAN, links computers and storage devices in a network, using storage protocols instead of network protocols.
* One advantage of this is that storage access does not link regular networking 
bandwidth.
* SAN is very flexible and dynamic, permiting hosts and devices to attach and detach on the fly.
* SAN is also controllable, permiting restricted access to certain hosts and devices.

ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

Understanding Electromagnetic Waves: The Invisible Messengers of Energy Electromagnetic (EM) waves are everywhere around us, shaping the way we live and communicate, though most of the time we are unaware of their presence. From the light we see to the signals carrying our favorite songs on the radio, EM waves play a fundamental role in both nature and modern technology. In this post, we’ll explore the nature of electromagnetic waves, their types, and their significance in daily life. What Are Electromagnetic Waves? At their core, electromagnetic waves are fluctuations of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space. Unlike sound waves, which need a medium like air or water to propagate, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. This means they can traverse the vast emptiness of space, which is how sunlight reaches Earth from the Sun. The discovery of electromagnetic waves is credited to James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century. He formulated a set of equations—now kn...

Introduction to C Programs

INTRODUCTION The programming language ‘C’ was developed by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s at Bell Laboratories. Although C was first developed for writing system software, today it has become such a famous language that a various of software programs are written using this language. The main advantage of using C for programming is that it can be easily used on different types of computers. Many other programming languages such as C++ and Java are also based on C which means that you will be able to learn them easily in the future. Today, C is mostly used with the UNIX operating system. Structure of a C program A C program contains one or more functions, where a function is defined as a group of statements that perform a well-defined task.The program defines the structure of a C program. The statements in a function are written in a logical series to perform a particular task. The most important function is the main() function and is a part of every C program. Rather, the execution o...
