HP Pushes Storage Via Ethernet with iSCSI
Hewlett-Packard just let us know that it plans to expand its iSCSI storage offerings. iSCSI (Internet SCSI) is a software package that emulates SCSI protocols, but the connection method is over an IP network instead of a direct SCSI compatible cable. Proponents say it's a storage management software that can make a remote disk or tape drive on a network operate just like a local disk. HP's Storage on Ethernet (SoE) initiative is supposed to let HP customers implement storage area networks (SANs) through an Ethernet, a high-speed local area network media, and TCP/IP. HP says its first iSCSI solutions are expected to come to market by the end of this year. Planned HP SoE solutions include iSCSI disk arrays, iSCSI tape libraries, host bus adapters, Ethernet switches and gateways to existing Fibre Channel SANs. HP is also planning a comprehensive storage management environment with HP OpenView storage area management software.
