TCP-IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, the basic communication
language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications
protocol in intranets and in extranets. When set up with direct access to the
Internet, a computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as
every other computer that you may send messages to or get information from
also has a copy of TCP/IP.
Terabyte
A measure of memory capacity, two to the 40th power or "roughly" (as a
decimal number) a thousand billion bytes (that is, a thousand gigabytes).
Termination
A method of matching transmission impedance of a bus to eliminate signal
reflections from the physical ends of the bus.
Thin File Server
A small server maximized for the sole purpose of serving files, as opposed to
computing.
Throughput
The number of I/O requests satisfied per unit time (usually per second.)
Tpm-C, TPC-C
The Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) is a standards
organization that measures transaction throughput of systems. One of their
benchmarks is Tmp-C, which reflects price and performance metrics. TPC-C
reflects new order transaction rate, a benchmark for transaction speed.
Mylex products have won consistently high TPC-C results.
Transfer Rate
The rate at which data moves between the host computer and storage, input,
or output devices, usually expressed as a number of characters per second.
