Don't forget FCoE. I think iSCSI will have a place in the replication space. Primarily, for things like data target to data target replication at the block level. (Notice I just didn't say array to array.) Since you can route it between different nets, you can make it quite secure with IPSec, etc. FC v FCoE v AoE would be for storage interconnects between a host and data target where direct block level access is required. Or your data target and disk drives. _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
