V-Series A12E-G2121 iSCSI Storage

 

iSCSI (Internet SCSI)
- An IETF standard
- Maps SCSI blocks into Ethernet packets
- A method for transporting low latency SCSI blocks across IP networks
—with performance equivalent to direct-attached storage
Uses familiar and inexpensive
- Ethernet technology and components
- Switches 10/100 & Gig-E
- Routers
- VPNs
- VLAN’s

Highlights
- Cost-effective shared storage over standard Ethernet networks
- Compliant with IETF iSCSI standard (RFC 3720)
- Microsoft Windows Storage Server Virtual Disk Service (VDS) compatibility
via Qlogic’s SANsurfer VDS manager
- CHAP authentication security (one way)
- 12 drive bays implementing 3Gbps, SATA-II disk drives
- Storage volumes presented via SCSI-like ID/LUN mapping as iSCSI targets
- Real-time event notifications over variety methods
