Manage data slices. A data slice is a logical representation of the data that is saved in the partitions of a disk. The data slice contains pieces of each user database and table. The IBMÂ® NetezzaÂ® system distributes the user data to all of the disks in the system by using a hashing algorithm. Each data slice has an ID, and is logically owned by a SPU to process queries on the data that is contained within that data slice.
Ethernet (the name commonly used for IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD) is the dominant cabling and low level data delivery technology used in local area networks (LANs). Following are some Ethernet features: 1  Ethernet transmits data at up to ten million bits (i.e., 10 megabits) per second (10 Mbps). 2  Fast Ethernet supports up to 100 Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet supports up to 1,000 Mbps, and 10 Gbps Ethernet supports up speeds matching its name (10 gigabits per second or 10,000 Mbps).
