07-01-2008 - Benefits of iSCSI Over Fibre Channel - Comments

Our upcoming chat today on benefits of iSCSI and Virtualization led me to some quick research to see what I could find. The first hit was for a Dell Whitepaper on why iSCSI is the best storage for virtualization. Turns out this is a whitepaper that I reviewed internally before it was published about a year ago.

I was a long time fibre channel user and thought that some of the points in the paper were a bit harsh. The funny thing is that reading it now I agree with it much more. The paper didn't change, but my experience in the last year with iSCSI has changed me. I really do think that iSCSI is easier and the performance concerns that I had, for the most part, don't concern me anymore. Although I must admit that I still like my CX3-80 fibre channel storage.
