ISCSI : the universal storage connection

Langue : Anglais

Auteur :

Couverture de l’ouvrage ISCSI : the universal storage connection

First book on new storage protocol - iSCSI.

  • Author, Hufferd is the Technical Coordinator for the iSCSI track of the IETF standards committee.
  • Emerging technology that is gaining in popularity. There was a huge booth at the recent Networld+Interop devoted to an IBM, Cisco, and Intel iSCSI initiative.
  • Grassroots marketing to the Storage Networking Industry Association and the companies that belong to it.
There are two core ways to implement Storage Area Networks (SANs) -- the traditional way, Fibre Channel, which is a direct link via cable, and the emerging way, IP SANs, whereby you access storage via the internet. Within IP SANs there are a number of important protocols including FCIP, iFCP, and iSCSI. iSCSI is an evolution of SCSI protocol that allows computers to talk to their hard disks, tapes, etc. The new iSCSI protocol carries SCSI commands over IP networks to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. This book offers System and Storage engineers a quick and easy way to become familiar with the iSCSI protocols, with needed insight to its applicability.

John L. Hufferd is a Managerial and Technical Leader at IBM and directs projects dealing with Networks, Storage, and SANs. He is currently the Technical Coordinator for the iSCSI track of the ips workgroup in IETF internet standards association.
