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
system 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.
S
