SMART-Self-Monitoring Analysis And
Reporting Technology
It is used to protect and prevent errors in hard drives. The SMART technology basically monitors and analyzes hard drives (hence the name), then checks the health of your hard drive and lets you know if there are any problems.
The main purpose of SMART is to keep your hard drive running smoothly and prevent it from crashing.

KVM Switch-Keyboard, Video, and
Mouse switch
As the name implies, a KVM switch allows you to used multiple computers with the same keyboard, video display, and mouse.
For example, software programmers may use a KVM switch to alternate between two or more computers with different operating systems. This allows them to test their software on multiple platforms when developing a crossplatform application.

ADSL-Asymmetric Digital Subscriber
Line.
ADSL is a type of DSL, which is a method of transferring data over copper telephone lines. While symmetrical DSL (SDSL) uploads and downloads data at the same speed, ADSL has different maximum data transfer rates for uploading and downloading data.

SOAP
The word SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol. SOAP was originally developed by Microsoft, IBM, DevelopMentor and UserLand Software and was then recommended by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
SOAP is used to communicate between applications via HTTP using XML or extensible Markup Language. Soap is a protocol that is neither a distributed object system nor an RPC system or even a Web application, but a messaging format for machine-to-machine construction. Soap applications communicate with each other over the internet.
