The best example of this architecture is OpenFlow.

 

Doxware
Doxware is a type of ransomware that threatens to release personal data to the public if the user does not pay the ransom. The term comes from the hacker term "doxing," or releasing confidential information over the internet. Doxware attacks frequently infect computers from phishing emails.  Doxware is also known as extortionware.

 

Supply Chain Visibility

Supply chain visibility (SCV) is the trackability or traceability of product orders and physical product shipments from the production source to their destination. This includes logistics activities and transport as well as the state of events and milestones that take place before and during transit.

 

The objective of SCV is to enhance and empower the supply chain by making information easily accessible to each and every stakeholder, including customers. The integration of SCV tools or systems enables different supply chain divisions in an organization to acquire real-time and precise information regarding stock, orders and deliveries in their incoming and outgoing networks.

Very High Density Cable Interconnect

A Very High Density Cable Interconnect (VHDCI) is an improved type of SCSI hardware used as an external connector for SCSI cables and devices. The SCSI interface is a set of standards that transfers data and physically connects a computer and a peripheral device.  The VHDCI is defined as an SPI-2 standard and is a smaller version of the older high-density 68-pin connectors.  It was introduced in the SPI-3 document of SCSI-3. The SCSI-3 is the third generation of SCSI; a standard that introduced  Fast-20 and Fast-40 and includes high-speed serial bus architecture such as IEEE 1394, Fibre Channel, and  Serial Storage Architecture (SSA).  The benefit of VHDCI is that it is very small. Two connectors can be crowded next to each other inside the width of a SCSI host adapter's back edge or expansion slot insert. This allows the placement of four wide SCSI connectors on the back of a single Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card slot.

 

Virtual Dedicated Server

A virtual dedicated server (VDS) is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud offering that allows users to provision an isolated server over the Internet. It provides functionality and resources similar to an in-house server but is managed on a rental basis by a cloud service provider.  A VDS provides small-full scale server instances, depending on the provider's resource requirements and capabilities.

Orthogonal

Orthogonal, in a computing context, describes a situation where a programming language or data object can be used without considering its after-effects toward other program functions.In vector geometry, orthogonal indicates two vectors that are perpendicular to each other.  The extended general usage of orthogonal is where two things vary from each other independently.

 

 Stream Processing

Stream processing is the process of analyzing streaming data in real time. Analysts are able to continuously monitor a stream of data in order to achieve various goals.  Stream processing as a way of optimizing data flow is popular with tech firms, for example, in use by social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, but it is also useful in a wider spectrum of tech uses where companies want to direct data flow in a more precise or specialized way, for instance, in IaaS and PaaS offerings, or in various types of ERP resources.

 

Deobfuscate

To deobfuscate is to convert a program that is difficult to understand into one that is simple, understandable and straightforward. There are tools available to deobfuscate a tough code or program into a simple and understandable form.  Obfuscation is usually done to secure software from attackers, making it hard for those with malicious intentions to understand its inner functionality. Similarly, obfuscation may also be used to conceal malicious content in software. A deobfuscating tool is used to reverse-engineer such programs.

It creates visual software application models under object-oriented principles.  Example application models include the creation of actors, use cases, relationships, objects, entities, etc. Rational Rose uses classical UML concepts to graphically model software applications. This facilitates documenting the environment, requirements and overall design.

 

Accessor

In computer programming, an accessor method is a method that fetches private data that is stored within an object. An accessor provides the means by which to obtain the state of an object from other program parts.  This is a preferred method in object-oriented paradigms as it provides an abstraction layer that hides the implementation details of functionality sets.

 

Integer Overflow

Integer overflow is the result of an attempt by a CPU to arithmetically generate a number larger than what can fit in the devoted memory storage space. Arithmetic operations always have the potential of returning unexpected values, which may cause an error that forces the whole program to shut down.  For this reason, most programmers prefer to perform mathematical operations inside an exception frame, which returns an exception in the case of integer overflow instead.  Integer overflow is also known as arithmetic overflow.

 

Fault Tolerance

Fault tolerance is the way in which an operating system (OS) responds to a hardware or software failure. The term essentially refers to a system's ability to allow for failures or malfunctions, and this ability may be provided by software, hardware or a combination of both.  To handle faults gracefully, some computer systems have two or more duplicate systems.

 

Quantum Coherence

The term "quantum coherence" represents the idea of a superpositioning that is at the heart of quantum mechanics and quantum computing.  Specifically, quantum coherence contemplates a situation where an object's wave property is split in two, and the two waves coherently interfere with each other.
