What is a NBD?

A Network Block Device (NBD) allows a remote storage device to appear and function as if it were locally connected. By facilitating data sharing over a network, NBD enables seamless access to remote storage, simplifying resource management and offering a cost-effective solution for businesses handling large datasets or distributed systems.

DHCP Simplified

What is DHCP?

DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automates the allocation of IP addresses and other network configurations to devices. Instead of manually assigning an IP address to each device, DHCP ensures that every device on the network receives a unique IP address automatically, enabling smooth communication between devices and servers. It removes the complexity of managing IP addresses, allowing network administrators to save time while reducing errors.
