IP SANs: The first authoritative guide to the technologies, standards, and applications.
- Combining the power of advanced SAN architectures with the value and familiarity of mainstream IP networking.
- Emerging IP SAN standards: Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP), Internet Fibre Channel Protocol (iFCP), and Internet SCSI (iSCSI).
- Tomorrows advances: Gigabit Ethernet-based solutions, Infiniband, and more.
Tom Clark, Director of Technical Marketing at Nishan Systems, is a board member of the Storage Area Networking Industry Association (SNIA), and co-chairs the SNIA Interoperability Committee.
(NOTE: Each chapter concludes with Chapter Summary.)
