A type of storage that allows SCSI commands to travel over a network. iSCSI RAID units utilize Ethernet connections, like NAS, but still allow block level storage like RAID devices.
(Internet Small Computer System Interface) Refers to the IETF-defined protocol for IP storage (ips). For more information about the iSCSI protocol, refer to the IETF standards for IP storage at http://www.ietf.org.
The iSCSI protocol is a mapping of the SCSI remote procedure invocation model on top of the TCP protocol
Edit / IETF standard protocol for extending a SCSI bus over an IP network.
A proposal advanced by the IETF's IP Storage Working Group for mapping SCSI onto the TCP (transmission control protocol) in order to allow storage links to be extended greater distances over IP networks. For more detail, see http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-20.txt
Internet SCSI This is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities, developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). 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.
A network storage protocol that enables the sending of SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network. Primarily used in Storage Area Networks.
Pronounced "iscuzzy," an acronym for Small Computer System Interface protocol over IP network instead of a direct SCSI compatible cable which enables data blocks to be read from or sent at high speed to a storage device such as a disk or tape drive
SCSI over IP - an IETF encapsulation protocol for use of SCSI block IO over an IP network.
Internet SCSI. A protocol being developed in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that specifies a method for encapsulating SCSI commands in TCP/IP.
iSCSI is a software package which emulates SCSI protocols, but the connection method is via an IP network instead of a direct SCSI compatible cable. SCSI is an intelligent protocol which enables data blocks to be read from or sent at high speed to a storage device such as a disk or tape drive. Early implementations of SCSI used ribbon cable and industry standard logic levels. The promise of iSCSI is that storage management software which was orginally written for the well established SCSI standard, can now be used to make a remote disk or tape drive on a network operate just like a local disk. The network can be a local area network such as ethernet, or even the Internet. The potential benefit is that users can connect to remote storage devices to replicate data without having to invest in writing huge amounts of new (buggy) software. SCSI
A protocol that enables transport of block data over IP networks, without the need for a specialized network infrastructure, such as Fibre Channel.
Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is a network protocol standard, officially ratified on 2003-02-11 by the Internet Engineering Task Force, that allows the use of the SCSI protocol over TCP/IP networks. iSCSI is a transport layer protocol in the SCSI-3 specifications framework. Other protocols in the transport layer include SCSI Parallel Interface and Fibre Channel.
