Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is an industry standard developed to enable transmission of SCSI block storage commands and data over an existing IP network by using the TCP/IP protocol. The encapsulated SCSI commands and data can be transmitted over a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN). As with traditional SCSI, an iSCSI storage solution requires at least one “initiator” residing on the application server and at least one “target” residing on the storage.
This report provides background on iSCSI technology and information on the current state of iSCSI storage solutions for the Microsoft Windows environment, focusing on the deployment of the iSCSI target solutions from some Microsoft storage partners. Some of these storage solutions are based on the Microsoft iSCSI software target and run on a Microsoft Windows-based platform. Some of these storage solutions are based on the storage partner’s own technology and run on a non-Microsoft platform. All these storage solutions provide storage for hosts that use the free-of-charge Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
