There has been much discussion (and a good dose of confusion) about the term “iSCSI” over the last year. This relatively new protocol for storage technology offers many compelling benefits, including ...

Using an iSCSI SAN, all of its critical data can be located on one SAN, and capabilities such as remote mirroring can be used to leverage cross-country IP infrastructure and provide for real-time ...

Next to its capability of using TCP/IP, an iSCSI array has a number of obvious benefits, the first being raw hardware cost. Not only are the disks reasonably priced, but allowing the SAN to run on ...

While the new iSCSI standard paves the way for IP-based storage area networks (SANs), don't boot Fibre Channel from the data center just yet. Performance, stability and interoperability are still ...

Lastly, iSCSI supports two-way CHAP where the initiator must have a password to access LUNs and the SAN has a password to authenticate with the client initiator.

IP can now deliver block-level storage networking to servers and as a result, the iSCSI and NAS devices using the technology are making a strong case for a bigger piece of the enterprise storage pie.

Laying the groundwork for simplified IP SAN (storage area network) adoption and storage virtualization within the enterprise, Sanrad on Feb. 21 introduced its new iSCSI V-Switch 3800.

At first blush, it seems like you could plug the SAN into the switch, throw an IP address on it, install the Microsoft iSCSI initiator on the server, configure it to connect to the SAN, and be on ...

As its name suggests, IP SAN is built on top of IP, making deployment relatively easy and quick. IP-SAN's iSCSI (Internet SCSI) network is a complete alternative solution to Fiber Channel.
