摘要：As number of startup companies has been increased in the last a few years, this revolution led to create a demand for affordable and reliable computing & storage solutions to satisfy their needs, including cloud computing, service oriented solutions, high rate data transfer, multiple physical locations that need to be connected together from anywhere in the world. The availability of high-bandwidth network infrastructures and of low-cost high bit-rate devices and network cards has enabled interesting new applications of distributed storage and storage virtualization techniques for Business Continuity, In this paper I will discuss the iSCSI protocol and how to adopt it in your SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprise) environments to solve the cost and complexity problems. I will present a real use-case analysis of iSCSI performance using existing infrastructure, or build a new affordable environment to implement storage over IP Network to get economical, high performance, reasonable and reliable infrastructure.
