domain name system
The DNS is a hierarchal distributed database used for name/address translation. DNS is the name space used on the Internet to translate computer and service named into TCP/IP addresses. Active directory uses DNS as its location service, and so clients find domain controllers using DNS queries. Active directory can be used to hold the data (for example, zone and forwarding records) that constitutes the DNS database used by the DNS service running on the domain controller. When DNS records in a Domain Controller are held in its active directory database, DNS zone transfers are handled as active directory replication operations and DNS and active directory are said to be "tightly integrated."
The HP name used to describe the storage system that includes HSV controllers, storage devices, enclosures, cables, and power supplies. Also known as the Enterprise Storage System.
A standard network protocol that operates mostly on a physical level, using network interface cards and cabling to transmit data between computers. Transfer rates are normally 1,000 or 10,000 Mb/s.
An IEEE standard for providing high-speed data transfer among workstations, servers, mainframes, supercomputers, desktop computers, storage devices, and display devices.
An adapter used to connect the host server to the fabric.

The name by which LDAP clients identify a specific attribute in an abject. The LDAP Display Name is also an attribute in its own right and is a mandatory item in each active directory object. The LDAP Display Name for an attribute contains no spaces or hyphens and the first letter is always lowercase while each distinct word in the name begins with a capital letter (for example, sAMAccountName, givenName, cn, sn). The lDAPDisplayName attribute value for each object is normally made by capitalizing the first letter of each word in the Common Name, then removing the hyphens and concatenating all the words together (and making the first letter lowercase). See also attribute.
A distributed network directory service that has native support for LDAP.
A protocol used to access a directory service such as active directory that has been enabled to understand the protocol. LDAP is a simplified version of the DAP developed as part of the X.500 international standard for directory services. While LDAP is certainly a computer communication protocol, the term "LDAP" is frequently used to denote more than just the protocol standard: it is inextricably tied to a default schema for the active directory database and other essential aspects of interoperability.
