iSCSI is an Internet Protocol (IP) based standard for
providing block (hard drive) storage to other systems. iSCSI works in a client
server model but uses different names to distinguish the client from the
server.
In iSCSI terminology, the server that is serving out the ‘disk space‘ is known as an iSCSI ‘Target‘ and the system that is
requesting/utilizing the disk space is known as the iSCSI ‘Initiator‘. So in other words,
an ‘Initiator‘ requests block
storage from a ‘Target‘.
In the next article, we want to compare iSCSi, traditional NAS and Fiber Channel.
Enjoy for learning.
