ISCSI: Standards, Concepts & Overview

Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI; /aɪˈskʌzi/ ⓘ eye-SKUZ-ee) is an Internet Protocol-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. iSCSI provides block-level access to storage devices by carrying SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network. iSCSI facilitates data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long…
