Window 8 the most awaitedoperating system. Every geek is speculating its feature according to theirintellect. But what Microsoft has done is nothing more than a wonder which hasbuilt an aura cant be ignored by anyone. The two important entities for whicheveryone like to reduce in this world i.e. Time and Power. Microsoft has done aremarkable job in order to achieve these goals. In this article Ill let youknow about the two features of Window 8 which is: Offload data transfer (ODX)technology and Zero power optical disk (ZPOD).Firstly Ill explain you aboutthe latest data transfer technology which is the new evolution made byMicrosoft expert. This technology has minimizes the time. Now this technologyfocuses more on Storage arrays services installed with Storage Area Network(SAN) rather than the client server model which is the back bone of previousdata transfer technology. In the past data transfer technology involvestransmission of data from source file to the preserved space and writes datainto a destination file with a copy stored in preserving buffer. Now the datatransmission technology uses token system which focuses on token system ratherthan continuous data transfer which is the key of previous data transfertechnology.Offload Data Transfer (ODX)technology: ODXthe latest data transfer technology which has increased the data transfer paceby using a token based system to reduce the burden on front end client servermodel. In Windows 8, ODX allows user to move data across virtual hard disks(VHDs), Server Message Block (SMB) shares and physical disks. This technologyutilizes the intelligent storage arrays to make continuous migration of datawithin or between compatible storage devices, bypassing or circumventing thehost computer. By offloading the file transfer tothe storage array, ODX minimizes latencies, maximizes array throughput .i.e.the frequency of data transfer operations within specified time limit increasesand reduces resource usage such as CPU and network consumption on the hostcomputer. The Basic requirements for using ODX technology are: · Storagedevices compatible with T10 XCOPY Lite specification.· Window8 or Window server 2012 must be installed on host and server computer. I will give you an overview how adata transmission operation takes place in Windows 8.Instead of using Buffersfor read and write operations, ODX starts to offload read, and then storagedevice sends the data token representing the data to the copy manager. Then ituses an offload write command and the token request to data transfer from thesource disk to the destination disk through the copy manager. The copy managerthen moves the data according to the token. ODX operates in the backend thusdidnt involve buffered data movement on the client server network. This willresult in CPU usage and client-sever network bandwidth consumption drops tonear zero levels. The key benefits of ODX are:· Lowserver CPU usage and client-sever network bandwidth during offload read andwrit operation.· Highspeed data transmission speed ZPOD:ZPOD stands for Zero PowerOptical Disk Drive is the latest feature which works on reducing powerconsumption. In previous versions of Windows, the continuous power is suppliedto the optical disk drive (ODD) even when it is not working. Now, if there isno media present in the ODD, the operating system turns off the power to theODD. This feature is known as Zero Power Optical Disk Drive. The basic hardwarerequirement for ZPOD is:· Opticaldrive with Slimline SATA (Serial Advanced and Technology Attachment) connector.If you still want to know aboutthe amazing features of Window 8 or require any Windows8 support then you can go to Microsoft knowledge base and for computer maintenance you can get free onlinetechnical services from reliable companies.
