What is Bluetooth?

sponsored by WhatIs.com, Sponsored by TESSCO

ABSTRACT:

In this podcast, Alex Howard, Assistant Editor at WhatIs.com, provides a brief overview of Bluetooth, a telecommunications industry specification that describes how mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) can be easily interconnected using a short-range wireless connection. Named in honor of Harald Bluetooth, king of Denmark in the mid-tenth century, Bluetooth allows mobile and fixed computer devices to be conveniently coordinated. Download this podcast to learn more.

( Find Out More About This Site )
- OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project)
  
  The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a not-for-profit group that helps organizations develop, purchase, and maintain software applications that can be trusted.
- application security
  
  Application security is the use of software, hardware, and procedural methods to protect applications from external threats. Once an afterthought in software design, security is becoming an increasingly important concern during development as applications become more frequently accessible over networks and are, as a result, vulnerable to a wide variety of threats.
- native app
  
  A native application (native app) is an application program that has been developed for use on a particular platform or device.
Data Center

- Bloom Energy Server (Bloom box)
  
  A Bloom box, officially known as an Energy Server, is a modular construction of fuel cells that can be used in combination to produce the amount of energy required for a given application. Each fuel cell, which consists of a metal alloy plate sandwiched between two ceramic layers, generates 25 watts of power. A single fuel cell can power a light bulb; a stack about the size of a loaf of bread could power the average home.
- Opscode Chef
  
  Chef is an open-source systems management and cloud infrastructure automation framework created by Opscode. Devops can use Chef to deploy and manage servers and applications in-house and in the cloud.
- Zabbix
  
  Zabbix is an open-source tool designed to monitor networks, servers, appliances and other hardware through a Linux-based server, which communicates to the native agents that are available for many operating systems, including Linux, UNIX and Windows.
Networking

- 10 gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE)
  
  10 gigabit Ethernet is a telecommunication technology that offers data speeds up to 10 billion bits per second. It differs from traditional Ethernet in that it is a full-duplex protocol and does not require Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD).
- network tap
  
  A network tap is an external monitoring device that mirrors the traffic that passes between two network nodes. A tap (test access point) is a hardware device inserted at a specific point in the network to monitor data.
- ISSU (in-service software upgrade)
  
  An ISSU (in-service software upgrade) is a technique for updating software on a network device without taking that device offline and thereby disrupting network services.
VMware

- nested VM (nested virtual machine)
  
  A nested VM (nested virtual machine) is a virtual machine contained within another VM.
- bubble network
  
  A bubble network is a series of interconnected virtual machines (VMs) that communicate through a virtual network switch (vSwitch) and remain isolated from the physical network.
- vNUMA (virtual NUMA)
  
  vNUMA (virtual NUMA) is a memory-access optimization method for VMware virtual machines (VMs) that helps prevent memory-bandwidth bottlenecks.
Exchange

- distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS)
  
  On the Internet, a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is one in which a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system.
- Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)
  
  The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) is United States legislation that defines a comprehensive framework to protect government information, operations and assets against natural or man-made threats.
- computer forensics (cyber forensics)
  
  Computer forensics is the application of investigation and analysis techniques to gather and preserve evidence from a particular computing device in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law.
Virtual Desktop

( Find Out More About This Site )
- desktop as a service (DaaS)
  
  Desktop as a service (DaaS), also called virtual desktop or hosted desktop, is the outsourcing of a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to a third party service provider.
- virtual GPU (vGPU)
  
  A virtual GPU is a computer processor that renders graphics on a server rather than on a physical endpoint device.
- virtual desktop pool
  
  A virtual desktop pool is a group of virtual desktops that are hosted on identically configured virtual machines.
SDN

( Find Out More About This Site )
- programmable network (PN)
  
  A programmable network is one in which the behavior of network devices and flow control is handled by software that operates independently from network hardware.
- NetScaler (SDX)
  
  Citrix NetScaler SDX is a service delivery networking platform for enterprise and cloud datacenters. NetScaler SDX supports multiple NetScaler instances on a single hardware appliance.
