New Connections: SAS and iSCSI HBAs
sponsored by Storage Magazine

Out with the old, in with the new: Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) and iSCSI host bus adapters (HBAs) are the new vanguard in server-to-storage connectivity. SAS HBAs are poised to replace parallel SCSI HBAs, while iSCSI HBAs offer companies the option to use an Ethernet storage network in lieu of a more costly Fibre Channel (FC) SAN for all of their servers. Of course, SAS and iSCSI HBAs address different corporate storage connectivity needs. SAS HBAs help eliminate storage I/O throughput bottlenecks to internal or direct-attached storage (DAS) while expanding the number of storage devices a single server can address to more than 16,000. iSCSI HBAs open the door for organizations to connect high-performance servers to their Ethernet storage network.
