iSCSI for Network Storage

Overview This paper presents a general overview of iSCSI, outlining its introduction, details of the protocol, user benefits, and several typical deployment scenarios and applications. iSCSI is an end-to-end protocol for transporting storage I/O block data over an IP network. The protocol is used on servers (initiators), storage devices (targets), and protocol transfer gateway devices. iSCSI uses standard Ethernet switches and routers to move the data from server to storage. It also enables IP and Ethernet infrastructure to be used for expanding access to SAN storage and extending SAN connectivity across any distance.
