iSCSI Opportunities
“International Data
Corp. (IDC) predicts
that worldwide sales
of iSCSI disk arrays
will grow from about
$28 million in 2003 to
more than $3 billion
in 2007, representing
a 227% compound
annual growth rate.”
iSCSI Standardization
• Standardization: The Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) has approved the iSCSI standard since Feb.
2003.
• A mapping of the SCSI remote procedure invocation
model on top of the TCP protocol.
• A new “SCSI transport” as defined by the SCSI SAM-2
document.
– Equivalent protocols include “SPI-2”, “FCP-2”, …
• To take compelling advantages from the IP/Ethernet
infrastructure.
iSCSI Standard Brings Interoperability to
SANs
