IP SAN (Storage Area Networks) & iSCSI ForumInmarsat Conference Centre, 99 City Road, London EC1
Introduction IntroductionIP SAN (Storage Area Networks) solutions using the iSCSI standard offer a flexible, cost-effective, secure and easy to implement and manage alternative to expensive Fibre Channel SANs, and are an especially effective means of consolidating storage environments. However, one of the most important benefits of iSCSI is that it uses TCP/IP networks and can use existing network infrastructure and administrator skill sets to offer low-cost connectivity for consolidation. With storage growth estimates going through the roof and data traffic continuing to grow the need for more efficient and affordable data availability, back up & restore, growth management, storage administration, server consolidation, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions is increasing every day. IP SANs & iSCSI are capable of all of the above and have evolved as a worthy competitor to Fibre Channel. The recent development of and improvement of performance, quality of service, and security, now make IP SANs & iSCSI a very attractive option and the benefits speak for themselves:
However, confusion still abounds and executives who are looking to discover if they can achieve real return on their investments (ROI) and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) from IP SANs and iSCSI find it increasingly difficult to get unbiased and clear information. This one-day event plans to fill that need.
