| HF | Hotfix. When a critical service of the application is blocked with loss of money, loss of reputation, risk for the business, a HF has to be achieved urgently. Thus the HF is linked to an incident and a service cut. The decision to achieve the HF comes from the Hot Fix Committee (HFC) which gathers at the initiative of PAM in connection with the escalation of an incident and the crisis situation. A HF is either related to a code, data or a parameter. With the aid of PAM or of the IOC, the code or the data are immediately modified in production. An executable can be sent from the development environment to production without respecting the standard release rules. The HF follows a cycle : gamma and then retrofit alpha/beta to align these environments. PAM is in charge of the good coordination of the HF. NB: We recommend, if possible, to test the HF briefly elsewhere than in gamma and to put the HF in a file of ksh type. |
| HFC | The Hotfix Committee. For a HF : The application owner, IM application, PAM. For a UP : The application owner, IM application. |

| NAS | Network Attached Storage — The advantages of a NAS over conventional server-attached storage can be summed up in three words: economy, speed, and ease. The NAS device sits on the network and is optimized for a single purpose: to pump data to users efficiently without the overhead and complexity of general-purpose servers. Such devices can produce improved file access performance at a substantially lower cost than general-purpose network servers. NAS is often contrasted with SANs, but NAS is actually under the "storage network" umbrella. The major difference is that the SAN is "channel attached", and the NAS is network attached. Adding or removing a NAS system is like adding or removing any network node. |

| SAN | Storage Area Network - a high-speed subnetwork of shared storage devices. A storage device is a machine that contains nothing but a disk or disks for storing data. A SAN's architecture works in a way that makes all storage devices available to all servers on a LAN or WAN. As more storage devices are added to a SAN, they too will be accessible from any server in the larger network. In this case, the server merely acts as a pathway between the end user and the stored data. Because stored data does not reside directly on any of a network's servers, server power is utilized for business applications, and network capacity is released to the end user. |

| UP | Urgent Promotion. A UP is a release via EPR that was being prepared and that has to be accelerated to solve a problem in production or resolve a business restraint. The UP is achieved at a moment with a minimum impact on the services supplied by the application. PAM does not have to intervene in the UP process. It has to be informed as for any other change. The UP follows the normal cycle of the release process : alpha, beta, gamma. |
