Why Step Up to an IP SAN?
• Remove storage from individual application and file servers
− Higher performance • Multiple drives are used in parallel
− More reliable • RAID disks, hot spares, background data
scrubbing, redundant power & fans
− Flexible storage• Allocate only what is needed to each
server• Add capacity to iSCSI appliance• Expand capacity for servers while they
are up and running
• Why iSCSI vs. Fibre Channel− Less complex and less expensive− Growing at 70%-80% CAGR
