I am hoping someone can confirm / correct my understanding of the term “enclave” in network admin terminology? I believe I have heard the term “enclave” to refer to servers in a server farm under the umbrella of an admin who will perform server maintenance (updates, service pack pushes, etc.) - as opposed to a tenant’s server who might be granted physical rack space in the server farm to place a server BUT the admin will not perform any server maintenance.
Is my understanding of the term “enclave” correct? Feel free to enlighten me.
Manson1972, that makes sense and I understand completely that often the terminology gets nebulous since networks can be configured and/or the system architecture can be structured in so many ways.
Speaking of vague terms, what defines a difference between a networked solution and an enterprised solution? As I understand it, is it fair to say an enterprise is huge relative to a network. And, is it safe to say an enterprised solution synonymous with a WAN?
IMHO, if somebody uses “Enterprise” as an adjective like “Enterprised Solution” they are just using catch phrases as a way to seem like they are saying smart things
An enterprise is the entirety of an organizations network, which may include all infrastructure (routers, switches, cabling), servers (database, directory services, authentication services, application servers, proxy servers), security (firewalls, IDS, IPS, VPN), and end user devices (workstations, printers, mobile devices).
A “networked solution” is vague enough to enable the person to sound smart. There are very few things today that are not “networked solutions” Although, a smart person would use that instead of “cloud solution” to describe where the physical machines would be located.
In bed.
And you totally forgot “seamless”. Despite it being last decade’s buzzword, it is still totally necessary in every bit of marketing-speak blather.
