iSAN - IP Storage Area Network from Covenco |
An IP Storage Area Network (iSAN) is a high-speed special-purpose network for storage, connected to one or more servers via Ethernet using IP and the iSCSI protocol.
Users can access any of the storage devices on the iSAN through the servers, and the storage is scalable. The centralised data storage reduces the administration required and provides a high performance flexible storage pool for use by multi-server / multi-vendor environments.
The IP protocol makes it possible for the iSAN to be made available across your entire WAN without the need for investment in fibre technology and therefore has a lower cost of entry.
