, the server hosting the replica of Active Directory database is called Domain Controller. In it's database is all information about all objects, that exist in particular Active Directory domain.
In Windows Server 2011 it is called Active Directory.
the Domain is called as the security boundary with in the active directory. A Windows domain is a logical group of computers running versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system that share a central directory database. domain governs the way user access resources of the network
Active Directory
The Active Directory database is stored on each domain controller in a file called NTDS.DIT
Active Directory
The database we use in our daily life is called as active database . The data that is stored in the database which is further stored on the cloud is called cloud database.

Active Directory is called active bacause it is actively updating it's data through replication from differnt sites and other domain controllers with in the network
The Active Directory Database is Stored in %SYSTEM ROOT%\NDTS folder.the active directory uses the sysvol folder as wellThe file is called as ntds.dit. Along with this file there are other files also present in this folder. The files are created when you run dcpromo. The list of files and use of those files are listed below1. ntds.dit : This is the main database file for active directory.2. edb.log : When a transaction performed to ad database, like writing some data first the data will be stored to this file. And after that it will be sent to database. So the system performance will be depends on how this data from edb.log file will be written to ntds.dit3. res1.log : Used as reserve space in the case when drive had low space. It is basically 10MB in size and creted when we run dcpromo.4. res2.log : Same as res1.log. It is also 10MB in size and the purspose also same.5. edb.chk : This file records the transactions committed to ad database. During shutdown, shutdown statement is written to this file. If it is not found when the system rebooted, the ad database tries to check with edb.log for the updated information.Edb corruption or Edb active directory corruption is really serious. However you can get this repaired by using edb repair tool.The Active Directory Database is Stored in %SYSTEM ROOT%\NDTS folder.the active directory uses the sysvol folder as well

The GLobal Catalogue has a reference to all objects within Active Directory. Its is know as GC
