Storage protocols enable storing and retrieving data in/from storage systems. The most used storage protocols are as follows:
- Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is a storage protocol that is used heavily in block-level storage systems. The server operating system uses the SCSI protocol to read and write data on an SCSI controller that manages storage devices.
- Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) places the standard SCSI protocol into an IP packet, thus extending its functionalities throughout the organization's network.
- Fibre Channel (FC) is another way of extending the functionalities of the standard SCSI protocol, enabling storage consolidations and longer distances.
- Fibre Channel over Ethernet ...
