• Windows DNA – Windows Distributed Internet Applications Architecture, a marketing name for a collection of Microsoft technologies that enable the Windows platform and the Internet to work together. Some of the principal technologies comprising DNA include ActiveX, Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and COM. Windows DNA has been largely superseded by the Microsoft .NET Framework, and Microsoft no longer uses the term.
• Cluster – A computer cluster consists of a set of loosely connected computers that work together so that in many respects they can be viewed as a single system
• Fail-over systems – Fail-over is automatic switching to a redundant or standby computer server, system, hardware component or network upon the failure or abnormal termination of the previously active application, server, system, hardware component, or network. Fail-over and switchover are essentially the same operation, except that failover is automatic and usually operates without warning, while switchover requires human intervention
• Federal Server – A network of database systems, all interactively connected with each other
