THE INDEFINITE INTEGRAL in Software

The medium originally known as Compact Disc - Write Once (CD-WO), is not erasable; you can write once and only once. If you interrupt the recording ow in the middle of a sector, the current state of the technology does not let you go back and start recording transitions from the point where you stopped. Some of the newer recordable CD archiving applications create the illusion of being able to erase les, but what you are actually doing is changing the contents of the disc s directory structure. The le is still on the disc you just eliminate the pointer to it. Similarly, DVD-R is designed for recording the data only once. The non-erasable nature of recordable compact discs makes it important that the information written to the disc be exactly right. Since a typical recording session can last anywhere from 8 minutes to half an hour or more and involve hundreds of Megabytes of data, all the system components must work together awlessly. The computer system, hard disk drive, SCSI host adapter or other I/O interface, software driver, and disc recorder must all perform their role in the data transfer process without error for the duration of the operation. This characteristic is both a strength and a weakness. If your goal is to maintain an unchangeable copy of a set of data les or a graphics library or a technical document, the optical disc will store your les for up to 100 years without the risk of overwriting the data or accidentally erasing the les. If, however, you are looking for a temporary place to keep large quantities of data, the rewritable optical disc formats are more appropriate, as described in the following section.

Along with cell-based ATM, SDH/SONET (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy and Synchronous Optical Network) was specified originally as the standard carrier of ATM cells. The standards specify concatenated SDH/SONET payloads (STS-3c, STM-4c, etc.) to allow the full bandwidth capacity to be available for a single service, allowing 600 Mbps on a single channel over STM-4c/STS-12c. Figure 10.5 shows how ATM cells can be carried by an SDH/SONET frame. ATM cells are carried within 8 kHz frame structures at the standard SDH/SONET bit rates. Overhead octets provide framing and OAM, and the HEC (checksum) is used to identify cell boundaries.

This attribute essentially enables a Service Provider to deliver a host of both Packet and traditional TDM (see chapter 10 for more information on TDM) multi-point services in an efficient and deterministic manner over standardized equipment platforms. These services underpin the multitude of customer applications that are emerging across voice, data, and video. Specific components that define this attribute comprehensively are defined next.

Another consideration in planning network connections is bandwidth availability in the area where the data center is located. The required circuits may be easily ordered now, but what about in six months or a year It is vital that a company understands the capacity available, usually from the LEC, and its growth plans. We have seen many customers experience delays in their entire data center build-outs because there were no additional circuits available from the LEC, and no one thought to check in advance (or they were overpromised by the LEC when they did enquire). TIP: It has been our experience over many years that telecommunication carriers are often overly optimistic when estimating the time required to install a circuit. They are similarly overly optimistic about the time required to make an installed circuit work smoothly. It is important to build extra time into the schedule for getting the circuit in and working. Bandwidth Management Due to the nature of Internet Protocol traffic, any amount of network bandwidth can be swallowed up by a variety of both important and unimportant applications, with no respect to priority. Thus, having the tools in place to manage, understand, report, and prioritize bandwidth is critical. A discussion of tools for managing and prioritizing bandwidth is included in 6 of one of our previous books, Citrix Access Suite 4 for Windows Server 2003: The Official Guide.

In discussions about access control, security professionals often use terms that are not used in other IS disciplines. These terms are: Subject, object These are pronouns that refer to access control situations. A subject is usually a person, but it could also be a running program or a computer. In typical security parlance, a subject is someone (or something)

Persistent world An online game that simulates a world that continues to exist and change even while a player is logged off. MMORPGs are persistent worlds, but a persistent world need not be massively-multiplayer, nor need it be a role-playing game.

The most recent development in this area, Kodak s Picture CD, is discussed in the section titled Picture CD on page 85.

Several proxy configurations can be configured by modifying the ICAFile.xslt. This allows your ICA client to connect to a Citrix Presentation Server through an HTTP or SOCKS proxy server.
