While storage networking – the use of a shared storage and communications infrastructure – has been around for some time, it became increasingly popular with the advent of the Fibre Channel standard in the early to mid-1990s. Since then FC has been the predominant shared storage network protocol in use… that is, until the IP SCSI storage networking protocol was developed in the early 2000’s.

While some of the concepts are similar for both FC and iSCSI protocols, there are differences in terminology and capability that must be understood to successfully design and manage an iSCSI solution such as the Dell EqualLogic PS Series SAN.

This white paper was written to help those that are considering or have already made the move to iSCSI, and to enable a smooth adoption of Dell EqualLogic. Read now to learn more.
