Take The iSCSI Quizz
The ability of iSCSI to manage voice and data
storage over long distances has helped give birth to
storage area networks (SANs) operating on local
area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs) and over the Internet. Think you
know the key iSCSI-related terms? Find out, using our iSCSI Study Guide to test
and bolster your knowledge.
- This is the major alternative to iSCSI on
corporate
SANs.
What is it?
- This type of network is at the heart of
every iSCSI
SAN.
What is it?
- Authentication is one of the major risks
associated with iSCSI, and this is the other.
What is it?
- Unlike iSCSI, this type of storage is
bound to a single server.
What is it?
- This type of network storage technology
competes with SANs based on the iSCSI standard.
What is it?
- Once the first products supporting this
ship in 2009, this will be the third way, in addition to Fibre Channel and
iSCSI, to connect a SAN's component drives.
What is it?
- This kind of switch can better position a
customer's iSCSI SANs for future network and storage growth.
What is it?
- These have a payload larger than
Ethernet's 1,500 bytes and have proven extremely effective at increasing
throughput on iSCSI SANs.
What are they?
- iSCSI typically has more of this than
Fibre Channel, which some experts see as a barrier to enterprise adoption.
What is it?
- If not done with discipline, this
supporting aspect of an iSCSI deployment could pose problems in the long
run.
What is it?
Answers:
- Fibre Channel
- IP (Ethernet) Network
- Spoofing
- Direct-attached Storage
-
Network-attached Storage (NAS)
- Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
- An Ethernet switch
- Jumbo Frames
- Latency
