Need to know what RAID is.  RAID stands or stood for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical disk drive components into a single logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both.  It provides a way of storing the same data in different places (thus, redundantly) on multiple hard disks (though not all RAID levles provide redundancy).  By placing data on multiple disks, input/output I/O operations can overlap in a balanced way, improving performance.  Since multiple disks increase the mean time between failures MTBF (mean time between failures), storing data redundantly also increases fault tolerances.  

Knowledge of operating system installations.

Replacing failed hardware.

Basic networking.

These jobs come with a cornucopia of acronynms.  Crazy number.  Here's one, MoUS.  What is it?  Memorandum of Understanding.  It describes a bilateral or multilateral agreement between two or more parties.  It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action.  It is often used in cases where parties either do not imply a legal commitment or in situations where the parties cannot create a legally enforceable agreement.  It is a more formal alternative to a gentlemen's agreement.

Whether or not a document constitutes a binding contract depends only on the presence or absence of well-designed legal elements in the text proper of the document (the so-called "four-corners").  The required elements are: offer and acceptance, consideration, and the intention to be legally bound (animus contrahendi).  In the U.S., the specifics can differ slightly depending on whether the contract is for goods (falls under the Uniform Commercial Code [UCC] or services (falls under the common law of the state).

Short for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, TCP/IP is a set of rules (protocols) governing communications among all computers on the internet.
