Raw Disk Storage
Raw Disk Storage: Storage access mode where the operating system and applications interact directly with the disk sectors, bypassing typical file system structures. This provides finer control over the data storage and retrieval process, utilized in scenarios requiring tailored data management, such as certain database systems or specialized data processing applications.
Real User Monitoring (RUM)
Real User Monitoring (RUM): A performance measurement technique that tracks the user experience of a website or application in real-time from the user’s perspective. It is used in web development and user experience design to identify and diagnose performance issues, such as slow page loads, errors, or crashes. Examples include using RUM tools to monitor […]

Recovery agent
Recovery agent: An individual or team responsible for coordinating and executing recovery processes. It is used in disaster recovery to ensure that critical information and systems can be restored in the event of a failure. Examples of recovery agents include a disaster recovery team or a system administrator responsible for restoring backups.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
Recovery Point Objective (RPO): The maximum tolerable amount of data loss measured in time. It is used in disaster recovery planning to determine how often data backups should be made and how much data can be lost in the event of a disaster. Examples of RPOs include a daily backup for a financial system to […]
