iSCSI Moves Toward Standard

EyesWideOpen writes "The iSCSI technology, which allows computers to connect to hard drives over a network connection such as a company Ethernet network or the Internet, requires only minor changes before the Internet Engineering Task Force endorses it as a formal version 1.0 standard. A final round of comments has been completed on the technology according to the Storage Networking Industry Association, the subgroup that led the creation of the iSCSI, and as a result companies now can start building iSCSI products."

    Apple already has an economy system known as the iMac, so wouldnt it be viable that they will also be using iSCSI for their systems?! See, iMac and iSCSI will work really well together because the first character in both names begin with the same character.
