| Abstract |
|
This lecture
is a fast-paced technical introduction to iSCSI and storage networking
applications that can leverage familiar and affordable TCP/IP infrastructures.
iSCSI is an industry standard implementation of the SCSI storage protocol
mapped to TCP/IP frames. iSCSI allows a Gigabit Ethernet connection
to serve as a data storage interconnect.
iSCSI enables a variety of applications, including:
- Storage Area Networks (SANs)
- High-speed file sharing (next generation NAS)
- Data replication
- High-speed backup and restore
- Bare-metal backup and restore
|
|
| Topics
Include |
- Essentials of storage networking
- Files, blocks, file systems, metadata, SAN, and NAS
- Benefits of IP for carrying storage traffic
- iSCSI host connections: TOEs, TNICs, SNICs, software drivers
- iSCSI performance issues
- iSCSI storage devices
- Integrating iSCSI with existing SCSI, ATA, and Fibre Channel
storage
- Turbo-charging your tape backup system
- "Continuous" or realtime backup solutions
- Other Ethernet-based SAN solutions
- Next generation NAS and high speed file sharing
