Santa's great storage grudge-match: Fibre Channel vs. iSCSI
Attaching storage to a network used to be so simple - now you have a number of options and no way to decide! We've got your back.
The biggest news in storage this year was probably the choice between Fibre Channel and iSCSI that many companies faced. To put your mind at ease over the holidays, we've cobbled together some stories for your reading.
Santa's great storage grudge-match: Fibre Channel vs. iSCSI
-
Australian auction house Oztion has already decided: they picked Fibre Channel.
-
Link Communications Group faced a similar decision, but they went with iSCSI!
-
Our mammoth Fibre Channel and iSCSI guide walked you through the decision making process, explaining the basic differences between the technologies.
-
Storage vendor Brocade weighed in, telling us what to do.
-
EqualLogic also wanted a say, however, and they also told us what to do about FC and iSCSI.
-
We had more case studies than you can poke a stick at this year, with a voice provider picking iSCSI over FC.
-
We were more than a little proud of our adroitness when we told you how to make an iSCSI SAN with a USB key.
-
For the indecisive, we featured a guide on integrating FC and iSCSI. Now you don't have to choose!
-
We were told, at one point, that Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) could end the whole debate.
-
But then someone else said that no, FCoE is not the best of ideas.
-
Again catering to everyone's tastes, we helped those with legacy systems, telling you how to blend iSCSI and FC SANS.
Have a safe one everyone! See you in the new year.
