iSCSI

iSCSI is a protocol that enables the transfer of data between two computers over a network. It is a form of storage area network (SAN) technology that allows a server to access storage devices over a network. iSCSI is used to connect a server to a storage device, such as a hard drive, tape drive, or optical drive. It is also used to connect a server to a storage array, such as a RAID array. iSCSI is a popular choice for businesses that need to store large amounts of data, as it is more cost-effective than traditional Fibre Channel SANs. iSCSI is also used to connect servers to other servers, such as for clustering or for remote backup.
