A Storage Area Network (SAN) encompasses the network infrastructure and storage devices that provide storage services to host systems. This Technical Report analyzes the performance and scalability of SAN storage devices and compares EqualLogic iSCSI products with Fibre Channel products, demonstrating that iSCSI performs as well as or better than Fibre Channel on comparable platforms. In addition, the low cost and the ease with which an iSCSI SAN can be managed makes iSCSI superior to Fibre Channel when considering the total cost of ownership.
