12. WHY iSCSI IS IMPORTANT TO
VIRTUAL INFRASTRUCTURES
 Simplifies Networked Storage
– Uses more affordable hardware and
existing infrastructure
– Leverages ubiquitous networking knowledge
 Enhances Consolidation ROI
– Simplifies virtual server deployments iSCSI
SAN
– Reduces acquisition, deployment and
ongoing management costs
 Enables a Simple Virtualized Storage
Architecture
– Natively supports virtualization primitives
– Allows scalable, flexible networked storage
grid implementations
– Load balances across all SAN resources
