iSCSI Moves Toward Standard

Posted by michael on from the pinging-/dev/sda:-operation-timed-out dept.

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."

    Hello, I am a secret spy for a scerert Iraqi terrorist group. I am posting as Annomous coward because, If im caught I will be sentanced to death immediately. To hide secret information from the US, Saddam hussian has tightened up securtiy. Linux is now illegal along with all other operating systems. The only OS allowed now is IRAQIX, a super
    properitry operating system that is so secret, that when the OS was compiled, all machines containing the source code were destroyed and the devlopers were killed. Please don't tell ANYONE this information, I am posting this through a secret proxy server in the IRAQI desert, this is my last words before I explode my illegal computer

    so you don't have to run around upgrading individual servers

    You just need a single upgrade - your computer room air conditioner.

    We threw in a meat locker lookin' system to coincide with our SAN installation.

    Now the whole damn room sounds like it is ready for take off (even with the door closed)!

    I haven't read the standard or anything...
    what's the point?

    You haven't read the standard, you haven't read the article, and you're wondering what iSCSI is?

    Congratulations! You'll fit in just fine here at Slashdot!
