iSCSI is a protocol for IP-based SANs that allows companies to maintain existing Ethernet infrastructures, use an existing knowledge base and bring storage to the IP network. Defined as Internet SCSI, or SCSI over IP this protocol transports SCSI commands over a TCP/IP protocol. iSCSI allows SCSI devices to be set up on an IP SAN and engage with other SCSI storage devices as if they were direct-attached devices.

iSCSI can provide a high-speed, low-cost, long-distance storage solution for Web sites, service providers, Enterprises, and other organizations.

ATTO iPBridge offers important benefits:

Uses existing IT expertise – most users have both IP and SCSI knowledge already in-house, reducing the need to hire new talent.
Uses existing stable and familiar infrastructure – enables sharing of SCSI storage devices without deploying a new network infrastructure. Storage can now be brought into the IP network.
Leverages proven, well known, well understood IP and SCSI technology including command sets, routing, quality of service and security.
Provides investment protection for IP managers who desire to network their existing SCSI products together.
Improves storage network distances through IP infrastructure access using the iSCSI protocol.

NDMP is an open standard protocol for network-based backup in a Network Attached Storage (NAS) environment. The goal of NDMP is to help address the problem of backing up networks of heterogeneous file servers, including dedicated file servers ("filers"), with any of several backup applications.

Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) technology provides centralized backup over an Ethernet network and reduces LAN traffic. With NDMP tape libraries and disk arrays become Network attached devices by using file level backups. For more information visit www.ndmp.org
