SoIP
Short for Storage over IP, SoIP technology refers to the merging of Fibre Channel technologies with IP-based technology to allow for accessing storage devices over TCP/IP networks. SoIP is the framework for storage area networking (SAN) using Internet Protocol (IP) networks to directly connect servers and storage. SoIP products are designed to support transparent interoperability of storage devices based on Fibre Channel, SCSI, and a new class of Gigabit Ethernet storage devices using iSCSI and iFCP. Existing Fibre Channel or SCSI devices, such servers with host bus adapters (HBAs) or storage subsystems, can be included in an SoIP storage network without modification.

This technology is being standardized under the IP Storage (ips) IETF Working Group. Also referred to as SoIP Framework.

- Snipping Tool
In Windows Vista the Snipping Tool can be used to capture a screenshot (or a snip) of anything on your screen by launching the application then using the mouse to draw a box around the area you want to capture. In addition to grabbing the snip you can also annotate, save or share the image. […]
- sSmiconductor
A material that is neither a good conductor of electricity (like copper) nor a good insulator (like rubber). The most common semiconductor materials are silicon and germanium. These materials are then doped to create an excess or lack of electrons. Computer chips, both for CPU and memory, are composed of semiconductor materials. Semiconductors make it […]
- semi-free software
