Sometimes referred to as “Big Blue” IBM is a multinational corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York. It manufactures computer hardware and software and provides information technology and services.
(1) A software program or a computer that provides services to other software programs or other computers. See also host, client.<br />(2) In WebSphere MQ, a queue manager that provides queue services to client applications running on a remote workstation.<br />(3) A definition that identifies where an application will be tested or published. See also host.<br />(4) The target of a request from a remote requester. In a DB2 database system, the server function is provided by the distributed data facility, which is used to access a DB2 database from remote applications.
Industry:Software
(1) A software program or computer that requests services from a server. See also server, host.<br />(2) A runtime component that provides access to queuing services on a server for local user applications. The queues used by the applications reside on the server. See also WebSphere MQ client.<br />(3) A classifier that requests a service from another classifier. See also association.
Industry:Software
(1) A special purpose, dedicated computer that attaches two or more networks.<br />(2) A part of the System i Access licensed programs that handle requests to send and receive data from applications on the personal computer and routes them to the appropriate applications on the system.<br />(3) A computer that determines the path of network traffic flow. The path selection is made from several paths based on information obtained from specific protocols, algorithms that attempt to identify the shortest or best path, and other criteria such as metrics or protocol-specific destination addresses.<br />(4) An attaching device that connects two LAN segments at the reference-model network layer. The LAN segments can use similar or different architectures.<br />(5) An MVS program that presents a common systems interface for all products providing resource control. Resource managing components (such as CICS) call the MVS router as part of certain decision-making functions in their processing.
Industry:Software
(1) A special-purpose buffer storage, smaller and faster than main storage, used to hold a copy of instructions and data obtained from main storage and likely to be needed next by the processor.<br />(2) A buffer that contains frequently accessed instructions and data; it is used to reduce access time.<br />(3) Memory used to improve access times to instructions, data, or both. Data that resides in cache memory is normally a copy of data that resides elsewhere in slower, less expensive storage, such as on a disk or on another network node.<br />(4) To place, hide, or store frequently used information locally for quick retrieval.
Industry:Software
(1) A specific algorithm or operation (such as a queueing discipline) that is implemented in a node to realize a set of one or more per-hop behaviors.<br />(2) A pattern that provides a common solution to a common problem in a given context.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical or virtual connection between two stations, software programs, or devices on a network that allows the two elements to communicate and exchange data. See also SQL connection, transaction.<br />(2) A type of resource that controls local logical units (LUs), remote LUs, modes, and attachments.<br />(3) In Java EE, an object used by a servlet to track a user's interaction with a Web application across multiple HTTP requests.<br />(4) In a distributed application, a single conversation between a communicating pair of transactions. See also conversation.<br />(5) A series of requests to a servlet originating from the same user at the same browser.<br />(6) A collection of process groups established for job control purposes.
Industry:Software
(1) A logical subset of volumes in a tape library. A category can be assigned by the library manager (for example, the insert category) or by the software (such as, the private or scratch categories).<br />(2) A word, phrase, or number used to group documents in a view.<br />(3) The recommended security specifications needed for both the CICS transaction definitions and the corresponding RACF profiles.<br />(4) An optional grouping of entities that are related in some way, such as messages or assets that relate to a particular application. See also message.<br />(5) A container used in a structure diagram to group elements based on a shared attribute or quality.
Industry:Software
(1) A measure of memory or storage capacity that is 2 to the 50th power bytes or approximately a thousand terabytes.<br />(2) For disk storage capacity and communications volume, 1 000 000 000 000 000 bytes.
Industry:Software
(1) A measurement of the ability of a system to continue processing without failure. Shutting down an on-line system to process batch updates to the database reduces its availability to end users but has no bearing on the reliability of components required to deliver the online service.<br />(2) The ability of a system to continue to return data even if a component fails.
Industry:Software
(1) A mechanism for connecting two unlike parts or machines, or for electrically or physically connecting a device to a computer or to another device.<br />(2) A set of software modules that communicate with an integration broker and with applications or technologies to perform tasks such as executing application logic and exchanging data.<br />(3) A transparent, intermediary software component that allows two other software components to communicate with one another.
