iSCSI
The iSCSI (Internet SCSI) protocol allows clients to send SCSI commands to SCSI storage devices on remote servers. It allows IT organizations to consolidate storage into data center storage arrays, while \hosts (such as database and Web servers) “see” locally-attached disks. An advantage to an iSCSI solution is that is can be run over long distances using existing network infrastructure.

Brocade iSCSI (Ethernet) solutions enable cost-effective Ethernet connectivity so that your low-cost servers can access Fibre Channel storage resources. By deploying iSCSI blades in the Brocade DCX and 48000, you can implement a cost-effective way for lower-cost iSCSI servers to access your high-end Fibre Channel SAN resources. Based on the same technology used across the entire Brocade family, this enterprise-class iSCSI solution can scale up to support the connectivity of thousands of servers and extend capabilities, such as centralized backup or tape vaulting, to servers in Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) environments.

Abstract:
Adaptive Rate Limiting on the Brocade® 7800 Extension Switch and Brocade FX8-24 Extension Blade for the Brocade DCX® 8510 and DCX Backbones enables efficient and cost-effective sharing of WAN bandwidth for FCIP storage and non-storage applications. This paper details the operation and advantages of Brocade Adaptive Rate Limiting in shared WAN bandwidth environments.
Abstract:
The pipelining and optimization technologies on the Brocade extension platforms improve throughput and mitigate the negative effects of latency when transporting storage traffic over distance. This paper details the operation and advantages of these technologies in extended RDR and tape applications.
Abstract:
FCIP Trunking is one of the advanced features of the Brocade extension platforms, enabling bandwidth aggregation and lossless failover for increased resiliency over IP WANs. This paper details the operation and advantages of this technology in extended storage applications.
Abstract:
Brocade solutions provide the flexibility, reliability, and ease of use for lower-cost Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) Storage Area Networks (SANs). This whitepaper provides an overview of an iSCSI SAN, the challenges with iSCSI SANs, and the Brocade solutions that address those challenges.
Abstract:
This paper explores both the technical and business reasons for implementing a switched FICON architecture instead of a direct-attached storage FICON architecture.
