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
