•The client computer can be remotely shut down and restarted.
•Since PXE is an industry standard, new computers can easily be added to the network.
RAID
Redundant Array of Independent Disks. A system of two or more drives working together for performance and fault tolerance. RAID drives are typically used on servers and
There are a number of different RAID levels. The three most common are 0, 3, and 5:
•Level 0: Provides data striping but no redundancy. This improves performance but does not provide fault tolerance.
•Level 3: Same as Level 0, but also reserves one dedicated drive for error correction data, providing good performance and some level of fault tolerance.
•Level 5: Provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance.
RAM
Rambus
Rambus is a memory technology that is designed to work with existing system board standards as an alternative to DRAM. See also RIMM, RDRAM, and
DRDRAM.
RDRAM
Rambus dynamic
1.6billion bytes of data per second. The subsystem consists of RAM, the RAM controller, and the bus
connecting RAM to the microprocessor and other devices in the computer. See also DRDRAM.

RJ45
A form of connector resembling a standard telephone jack that is typically used to connect Ethernet and Token Ring network adapters and cables. Unlike a telephone jack, an RJ45 connector has eight wires instead of two, four, or six.
