Breakdown of acronyms and/or acronyms

To begin with, we are going to define the meaning of acronym and acronym. As the definition tells us, an acronym is the initial letter that is used as an abbreviation. In the case of the acronym, it does not differ much from the above. Except that an acronym is a word made up of the initials and sometimes more letters of other words. Sometimes, the use causes acronyms to be written in lowercase, except for the initial in the case of a proper name.
In any case, what will be shown on this page is the breakdown of an acronym and/or acronym(always in the computer and Internet area) with respect to their initials, it will only be the decomposition of the words they refer to. This means that the definition or its meaning will not be shown, leaving this task, if it exists, in our glossary.

It may be that many of the acronyms exposed here are also found in our computer glossary and generally with their different definitions. Although it is also given the other way around, that is, there will be acronyms shown on these pages that will not be found in the glossary. This being simply because the meaning has not yet been discovered.

This page of IT acronyms is ordered by alphabet and in a paginated way, where at the bottom of each one you can select the number of the page to be displayed. Undoubtedly, the following list of acronyms or acronyms will grow as more breakdowns are entered.

We hope that the following list is of great help and that you can understand those acronyms and/or acronyms whose decomposition is sometimes not known. Similarly, the IT acronyms page can serve as a complement to our IT glossary.
