Internet SCSI

ISCSI supports a Gigabit Ethernet interface at the physical layer, which allows systems supporting iSCSI interfaces to connect directly to standard Gigabit Ethernet. Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is a network protocol standard, officially ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force, that allows the use of the SCSI protocol over TCP. Most industry focus has been placed on creating iSCSI disk targets though iSCSI tape and medium changer targets are popular as well. SCSI stands for Small Computer Systems Interface which is a protocol for data transfer between computer devices. Microsoft has released Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) support software for Microsoft. The iSCSI protocol aims to be fully compliant with the standardized SCSI architecture model. Internet SCSI is a technology has had to slug its way into the data center and successfully.
