iSCSI is Internet SCSI (Small Computer System Interface), an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. By carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. The iSCSI protocol is among the key technologies expected to help bring about rapid development of the storage area network (SAN) market, by increasing the capabilities and performance of storage data transmission. Because of the ubiquity of IP networks, iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.

If you need a quotation for an iSCSI solution then please click here. If you would like someone to call you back FREE then click here

The purpose of IP Over SCSI is to connect two or more computers with SCSI interfaces using the IP protocol. The advantage of using SCSI interfaces to encapsulate IP is the large bandwidth possible using SCSI interfaces, that can be up to 80 MByte/s with SCSI-2 and 160 MByte/s with SCSI-3 (Note: with fast ethernet only 10.7 MByte/s can be achieved). It can be used in local networks or Beowulf clusters where a high throughput is necessary for large messages.

iSCSI utilises the latest high-capacity, Serial ATA (SATA) drive technology and the iSCSI to SATA RAID range provides a high performance, scalable, cost-effective storage solution.

The iSCSI specification defines a method to encapsulate the SCSI protocol commands within an IP packet thus enabling direct control and data transfers between Servers and SCSI based hardware. This allows storage area networks to be extended and make use of conventional LAN or WAN topologies. Simultaneously disk and tape drive manufacturers have introduced a new serial interface (SATA) which has inherently lower costs and faster data transfer rates

FCIP or Fibre Channel over TCP/IP (FCIP) provides a mechanism to "tunnel" Fibre Channel over IP-based networks. This enables the interconnection of Fibre Channel SANs, with TCP/IP used as the underlying wide-area transport to provide congestion control and in-order delivery of data.

Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP or FC/IP, also known as Fibre Channel tunneling or storage tunneling) is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking technology. FCIP mechanisms enable the transmission of Fibre Channel (FC) information by tunneling data between storage area network (SAN) facilities over IP networks; this capacity facilitates data sharing over a geographically distributed enterprise. One of two main approaches to storage data transmission over IP networks, FCIP is among the key technologies expected to help bring about rapid development of the storage area network market by increasing the capabilities and performance of storage data transmission.

The Internet Fibre Channel Protocol (iFCP) supports Fibre Channel Layer 4 FCP over TCP/IP. It is a gateway-to-gateway protocol where TCP/IP switching and routing components complement and enhance, or replace, the Fibre Channel fabric.

iFCP (Internet Fibre Channel Protocol) is a new standard for extending Fibre Channel storage networks across the Internet. iFCP provides a means of passing data between Fibre Channel storage devices in a local storage area network (SAN) or on the Internet using TCP/IP. TCP provides congestion control as well as error detection and recovery services. iFCP merges existing SCSI and Fibre Channel networks into the Internet. iFCP can either replace or be used in conjunction with existing Fibre Channel protocols, such as FCIP (Fibre Channel over IP).

iFCP addresses some problems that FCIP does not. For example, FCIP is a tunneling protocol that simply encapsulates Fibre Channel data and forwards it over a TCP/IP network as an extension of the existing Fibre Channel network. However, FCIP is only equipped to work within the Fibre Channel environment, while the storage industry trend is increasingly towards the Internet-based storage area network. Because iFCP gateways can either replace or complement existing Fibre Channel fabrics, iFCP can be used to facilitate migration from a Fibre Channel SAN to an IP SAN or a hybrid network

IP storage. The benefits of IP storage networking have been well recognized within the network-attached storage (NAS) arena for moving files over IP-based LANs. IP storage leverages the large installed base of Ethernet-TCP/IP networks and enables storage to be accessed over LAN, MAN, or WAN environments, without needing to alter storage applications. It also lets IT managers use the existing Ethernet/IP knowledge base and management tools whilst working with their IP Storage Solution.

FCAL is a fast, serial-based standard meant to replace the parallel SCSI standard. It is primarily used in high cost server systems, and to connect storage devices to servers. It is software-compatible with SCSI and can handle 126 devices per port. FC-AL connections can run as far as 10 kilometers using optical cabling, or 30 meters with standard copper cabling.

If you need a quotation for an FCAL Solution then please click here. If you would like someone to call you back FREE then click here

(FC-AL) A fast serial bus interface standard intended to replace SCSI on high-end servers.

FC-AL has a number of advantages over SCSI. It offers higher speed: the base speed is 100 megabytes per second, with 200, 400, and 800 planned. Many devices are dual ported, i.e., can be accessed through two independent ports, which doubles speed and increases fault tolerance. Cables can be as long as 30 m (coaxial) or 10 km (optical). FC-AL enables self-configuring and hot swapping and the maximum number of devices on a single port is 126. Finally, it provides software compatibility with SCSI.

A Fibre Channel director is a large port count, non-blocking scalable enterprise-class switch with full redundancy. Fibre Channel directors support multiple protocols, including FICON, SCSI, and IP concurrently. A Fibre Channel director can be used to implement large SANs ranging from hundreds to thousands of ports with less complexity, given the number of native ports and fewer ISLs required. Director-class products enable multiple SAN "islands" or smaller switches to be brought together to simplify management, similar to how a large IP router/switch like a Cisco Catalyst 6500 ties a LAN together. When directors and switches are configured together, the director may be referred to as a core device and the switches as edge devices.

A mirror site can be a Web site that is a replica of an already existing site, used to reduce network traffic (hits on a server) or improve the availability of the original site.Mirror sites are useful when the original site generates too much traffic for a single server to support.

Mirror sites also increase the speed with which files or Web sites can be accessed: users can download files more quickly from a server that is geographically closer to them. For example, if a busy New York-based Web site sets up a mirror site in England, users in Europe can access the mirror site faster than the original site in New York.

Mirrored Server - is utilising a backup server that duplicates all the processes and transactions of the primary server. If, for any reason, the primary server fails, the backup server can immediately take its place without any down -time.

Server mirroring is an effective strategy for achieving fault tolerance. It's expensive because each server must be mirrored by an identical server whose only purpose is to be there in the event of a failure. A less expensive technique that is becoming more and more popular is clustering.
