eXtremeRAID™ ID™
A family of Mylex RAID controllers which offer uncompromising fault
tolerance, data availability, superior configuration, and management
flexibility. The eXtremeRAID controllers use driver technology, which has
won tpm-C benchmarks worldwide. With this technology, eXtremeRAID
controllers provide the highest performance and most flexible RAID
solution available today.
FAT, FAT 32
File Allocation Table, a distribution table maintained by an operating system
on a hard disk that provides a map of the clusters (the basic unit of logical
storage on a hard disk) that a file has been stored in. FAT 32 supports 32-bit
processors.
Fault Tolerance, Failure Tolerance
The ability of a system to continue to perform its function even when one of
its components has failed. A fault tolerant system requires redundancy in
disk drives, power supplies, adapters, controllers, and cabling. Mylex RAID
controllers offer high levels of fault tolerance.
Flash ROM
Memory on an adapter containing software that can be reprogrammed
without removing it from the board.
Format
A pre-established layout for data. Programs accept data as input in a certain
format, process it, and provide it as output in the same or another format. All
data is stored in some format with the expectation that it will be processed by
a program that knows how to handle that format.
