WHAT'S IN STORE?

摘要

Several storage networking standards and initiatives have emerged over the past few years, some with broad industry support, but all of them designed to make storage networking easier to manage for the end-user. The storage industry is no stranger to acronyms. These range from the traditional optical storage technology Cold (Computer Output to Laser Disc); and HDD, which represents the traditional Winchester Hard Disc Drive. Then there is the amusing JBod, which stands for Just a Bunch Of Discs. Added to the pile are new and emerging storage standards including iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface); FCIP (Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol); and SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification).
