Internet SCSI (iSCSI) can be a useful and relatively inexpensive way to provide storage for new applications or to provide a networked pool of storage for existing applications. Microsoft and its storage partners provide a variety of storage solutions that can be implemented relatively easily. This report allows administrators and IT managers to explore iSCSI technology and see actual deployment examples.
There is no question that iSCSI storage solutions and technology have a place in many IT environments. The performance of iSCSI storage solutions is adequate for many applications and iSCSI technology provides the benefits of storage area network technology for a lower cost than Fibre Channel storage solutions.
