Nasuni Edge Appliance Initial Configuration Guide 8.3 110
data
Data is transmittable and storable computer information. Nasuni handles data in the form of files,
including text, images, audio, and video.
Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
Direct-attached storage (DAS) is computer storage that is directly attached to one computer or server
and is not, without special support, directly accessible to other ones. The main alternatives to direct-
attached storage are network-attached storage (NAS) and a storage area network (SAN).
directory quota
A limit on the amount of data in a directory. You can configure that quota reports are sent to
administrators or users when directories near or exceed their quota.
Directory Services
Services, including authentication, provided by Active Directory or LDAP.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that provides a
network IP address for a host on an IP network automatically.
E
encryption
The Nasuni Edge Appliance encrypts data sent to cloud storage using the OpenPGP standard, with
AES-256 as the default encryption.
eviction
Data that has been copied from the Nasuni Edge Appliance to cloud storage, and that is rarely used
again, is eventually removed (“evicted”) from the Nasuni Edge Appliance’s cache to free up space for
new data. If one of these evicted files is later requested for reads or writes, the Nasuni Edge Appliance
retrieves the file from cloud storage and puts it back into the cache automatically.
export
A directory on a server volume that a client on your network can access.
F
faulting
If requested data does not reside in the local cache, it is staged into the cache and provided for the
request. This is informally called “faulting”.
