While many programs pass themselves off as storage management solutions, storage management encompasses the entire system a company uses to store, organize, analyze, evaluate, and process information.   How Storage Management Works Essentially, storage management is Read More

SDHC stands for Secure Digital High Capacity. It is a format for new memory cards that is based on the 2.00 specification of the SDA (Secure Digital Association).The name Secure Digital is due to their ability to protect copyright, using digital copyright management. This has made these memory cards a favorite choice in the audiovisual industry. These flash memory cards are available in various capacities, the minimum being 4 GB. SDHC cards are removable and are used in compatible digital devices like MP3 players, camcorders, camera phones, etc. Why SDHC? Read More

Automatic gain control is a technique implemented in many consumer electronics that automatically adjusts the input levels of a system by inducing a portion of the output levels in the input terminals. Automatic gain control is used in a wide variety of technologies, including telecommunications, navigation, audio/video recordings, and radio systems. Automatic gain control can also be seen in biological systems, such as the vertebrate visual and audio systems.   How Automatic Gain Control Works Automatic gain control is dependent on a loop in which the output terminals of a Read More

The difference between Bit and Baud rate is complicated and intertwining. Both are dependent and inter-related. But the simplest explanation is that a Bit Rate is how many data bits are transmitted per second. A baud Rate is the number of times per second a signal in a communications channel changes. Bit rates measure the number of data bits (that is 0’s and 1’s) transmitted in one second in a communication channel. A figure of 2400 bits per second means 2400 zeros or ones can be transmitted in one second, Read More

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a data reliability and redundancy system that allows data to be stored on multiple computers at the same time. RAID technology is generally used in industrial, commercial, and government computer networks to store copies of system and user files on multiple hard drives that are connected through a logical unit and the network. RAID technology allows companies, agencies, and other institutions to ensure that important files are never lost or that system files that maintain an online server or physical computer network are Read More
