In the context of generic data center services, a cross connect typically refers to the patched connectivity between the data center's facilities and the line of demarcation into the building. It would often be the patched connection between your servers and the Internet access or any additional network connectivity.
standard deviation. a measure of the dispersal of a random variable; the square root of the average squared deviation from the mean. For data that have a normal distribution about 68% of the data points fall within one standard deviation from the mean and 95% fall within two standard deviations. Symbol is Ï.
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, which in this case is or 1.73. Comparison to mean absolute deviation. The mean absolute deviation is when the negative sign is ignored so that all deviations are converted to positive numbers, summed, and then averaged.he standard deviation is the measure that is most often used to describe variability in data distributions. It can be thought of as a rough measure of the average amount by which observations deviate on either side of the mean.
