Denial of Service Attack
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers
Grid Computing
Like Server Clusters but more loosely couples, hetrogenoeus and distributed. The World Community Grid is a good example of millions of PC's processing power devoted to computing calucations
MAC Address
A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. MAC addresses are used for numerous network technologies including Ethernet. MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address.
MX Record
A mail exchanger record (MX record) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System that specifies a mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a recipient's domain and a preference value used to prioritize mail delivery if multiple mail servers are available. The set of MX records of a domain name specifies how email should be routed with the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
.NET
The .NET Framework is a software framework for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It includes a large library, and it supports several programming languages which allows language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages). The .NET library is available to all the programming languages that .NET supports http://www.microsoft.com/net/
NOC
Network operation center. Usually hosted data centers.
Telnet
Telnet is a computer protocol like Http and FTP. Telnet stands for 'telecommunications network', and was built to be form of remote control to manage mainframe computers from distant terminals. Telnet has evolved into a new modern version of remote control called 'SSH', that network administrators use today to manage linux and unix computers from a distance.
XML
XML is a machine readable code similar and simpler than HTML. RSS, SOAP ATOM are all XML based formats. Radley EDI messages are sent via XML to customers and Syncada, etc
