1000BASE-T is a Gigabit Ethernet standard that operates at a speed of 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) over copper wiring. One Gb is equivalent to 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps). The standard uses four pairs of Category 5 (Cat5) or higher unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper cables to achieve the gigabit data rate. The "T" in 1000BASE-T refers to twisted-pair cable. 1000BASE-T can also be referred to as 1000BaseT, GbE, 1 GigE or simply Gigabit.

Segregation of duties (SoD) is an internal control mechanism designed to prevent errors and fraud by ensuring at least two individuals are responsible for the separate parts of any task. SoD involves breaking down tasks that might reasonably be completed by a single individual into multiple tasks so no one person is solely in control. This approach makes it more difficult for someone to commit fraud or embezzle company funds.

A stored procedure is a set of Structured Query Language (SQL) statements that multiple programs can reuse and share to perform specific tasks. Stored procedures are stored as a group in a relational database management system, or RDBMS. They can access or modify data in a database, but are not tied to a specific database or object. Benefits of using stored procedures One key benefit of using stored procedures is code reusability.

Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft's proprietary directory service that enables network admins to manage users, permissions and their access to networking resources. It runs on Windows Server and stores information about objects, such as shared network resources, on a corporate network in a logical, hierarchical format. This enables administrators to manage those resources, as well as the users who need to access those resources to get their work done.

A uniform resource identifier (URI) is a character sequence that identifies a logical (abstract) or physical resource -- usually, but not always, connected to the internet. The strings of characters incorporated in a URI, such as a scheme name and a file path, serve as identifiers. URIs can identify different types of resources, including the following: Electronic documents. Webpages. Images. Information sources with a consistent purpose.

In computer programming, a script is a program or sequence of instructions that another program interprets or carries rather than the computer processor doing it (as with a compiled program). Scripting is an essential concept in modern programming because scripts allow users to automate many computing processes that would otherwise be time-consuming when performed manually by humans. Automation saves time and helps accelerate the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

A virtual hard disk (VHD) is a disk image file format for storing the entire contents of a computer's hard drive. The disk image, sometimes called a virtual machine (VM), replicates an existing drive, including all data and structural elements. It can be stored in any location accessible to the physical host, and it is also transportable, meaning it can be stored and moved with a USB flash memory device. What does a virtual hard disk do?

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a networking approach in which software is used to easily configure and centrally manage IT networks. SDN abstracts a network's different, distinguishable layers to make it more agile, flexible and easy to manage. Its main goal is to improve network control and empower enterprises to respond quickly to changing business requirements and quickly adopt innovative technologies. How does SDN differ from traditional networking?
