Tandem Capacity Model (TCM).
Tandem Capacity Model (TCM). A Compaq product that provides computer-assisted
capacity planning. It uses the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet with Measure data to explore
different growth scenarios and system configurations.
Tandem Network Statistics Extended (NSX). A network management tool that provides
operators with a global perspective on the entire network. With NSX, operators can
collect and monitor up-to-the-moment performance statistics on all nodes, processors,
and Expand line handlers in the network.
Tandem NonStop™ Kernel. The operating system for NonStop™ systems, which consists
of the core and system services. The operating system does not include any application
program interface.
Tandem NonStop™ Series (TNS). NonStop™ Kernel computers that support the Guardian
environment and that are based on complex instruction-set computing (CISC)
technology. The term TNS can refer to the instruction set, the architecture, or the
processors. Systems with these processors are the NonStop™ II, NonStop™ TXP,
NonStop™ VLX, NonStop™ Cyclone, and NonStop™ CLX 600, CLX 700, and CLX
800 systems. Contrast with
Tandem NonStop™ Series/RISC (TNS/R) .
Tandem NonStop™ Series/RISC (TNS/R). NonStop™ Kernel computers that support the
Guardian environment and that are based on reduced instruction-set computing (RISC)
technology. TNS/R processors implement the TNS/R instruction set and maintain
architectural compatibility with TNS processors. The term TNS/R can refer to the
instruction set, the architecture, or the processors. The first TNS/R processor is the
NSR-L processor. Systems with these processors are the NonStop™ Cyclone/R and
NonStop™ CLX 2000 systems. Contrast with
Tandem NonStop™ Series (TNS) .
Tandem NonStop™ Support Center (TNSC). See Global Customer Support Center
(GCSC) .
Tandem Object Monitoring Facility (OMF). A Compaq product that enables operators to
supervise objects such as processors, disks, files, and processes within the NonStop™
Kernel environment.
Tandem Service Management (TSM). A client/server application that provides
troubleshooting, maintenance, and service tools for the NonStop™ Himalaya S-series
server. Compaq Tandem Service Management (TSM) consists of software components
that run on the NonStop™ Himalaya S-series server and on a PC-compatible
workstation.
Tandem TCP/IP subsystem. Tandem TCP/IP lets you use the NonStop™ Kernel host from
Macintosh, personal computer, and UNIX workstations. Cooperative applications can
partition function so as to use the strengths of the different operating systems.
Applications running on a NonStop™ Kernel system or an Expand network can
transparently exchange data with TCP/IP devices.
Tape label. A record at the beginning of a tape that identifies the tape volume and the files it
contains.
