Company Profile:
Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
A graphical representation of movement of materials, people or process steps to identify motion or transport wastes for elimination.
Industry:Technology
In-orbit satellite portion of a particular satellite communications system or network. See also ground segment.
Industry:Technology
In asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), a set of parameters used during the setting up of a connection.
Industry:Technology
A technique used in local-area networks (LANs) in which the source of the frame specifies the route that the frame has to follow; the source furnishes a routing information field that designates the entire route to the destination.
Industry:Technology
A compression technique that takes into account the nature of the information to be compressed. See entropy encoding.
Industry:Technology
A solution portfolio describes the relationships among implemented solutions of a particular type (such as applications or shared infrastructure), in order to coordinate change across those solutions. Applying a portfolio approach to managing solutions as a group, while also managing the relationships across portfolios, improves the consistency, interoperability and portability of the collective solutions.
Industry:Technology
A solution architecture (SA) is an architectural description of a specific solution. SAs combine guidance from different enterprise architecture viewpoints (business, information and technical), as well as from the enterprise solution architecture (ESA).
Industry:Technology
A solution is an implementation of people, processes, information and technologies in a distinct system to support a set of business or technical capabilities that solve one or more business problems.
Industry:Technology
Solid-state appliances are based exclusively on semiconductor memory technology (typically NAND flash or DRAM), rather than hard-disk drives (HDDs) and include fully integrated, higher-level optimization software. The storage software management layer should enable one or more of the following benefits: high availability (HA), enhanced capacity efficiency, automated data management and guaranteed levels of performance (even when the solid-state drives (SSDs) are more than 80% full).
Industry:Technology
Software-defined radio (SDR) provides software control of significant parts of a wireless function rather than through traditional hardware control. This allows devices to switch dynamically between protocols and frequencies under software control. SDR is most attractive where standards are changing and uncertain, or where multiple standards are required. Smart antennas are an important part of SDR and are typically implemented as an array of elements with programmable characteristics such as field width, frequency and waveform shape.
