Rui Hao · Microcomputer Development · 2004
The Internet and related activities continue to expand, increasing the amount of data that needs to be stored and other organizations require effective ways to store and maintain these data. In order to meet the challenge information era brings us, the paper come up with a new storage technology:iSCSI. iSCSI is a TCP/IP-based protocol for establishing and managing connections between IP-based storage devices, hosts and clients. The technologies avoid the drawbacks occurring in traditional technologies such as distance limitations and high TCO(Total Cost of Ownership). The status quo of storage market shows iSCSI is the development trend of network storage technology.
