I/O Consolidation in the Data Center -ExcerptJamie Shoup
This chapter discusses I/O consolidation in data centers. Currently, most data centers use separate Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Infiniband networks. I/O consolidation aims to use a single physical network for all traffic, reducing costs and complexity. It must meet the requirements of different traffic types, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel storage traffic, and low-latency inter-processor communication. Past attempts at I/O consolidation faced challenges from incompatibility between network types and reliance on gateways. Emerging technologies like 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express may help overcome these challenges by providing sufficient bandwidth to consolidate traffic on a single network.
This document provides a conceptual overview of iSCSI, which is a SCSI mass storage transport protocol that operates over TCP/IP networks. Key points:
- iSCSI allows SCSI commands and data to be transmitted over TCP/IP networks without modifying existing SCSI or TCP/IP protocols.
- iSCSI utilizes a client-server model where the iSCSI initiator issues commands to the iSCSI target, which are transported via iSCSI protocol data units over TCP.
- iSCSI operates between the SCSI protocol layer and TCP layer, allowing SCSI storage to be accessed remotely over IP networks like local storage over Fibre Channel or parallel SCSI.
Converged Data Center: FCoE, iSCSI and the Future of Storage NetworkingEMC
(EMC World 2012 )This session explores the opportunities and challenges of using a single network to support both storage and networking.

Cisco connect montreal 2018 - Network Slicing: Horizontal VirtualizationCisco Canada
The document discusses network slicing, which is the next step in virtualization for 4G/5G mobile networks. Network slicing allows the core network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks or "slices", each with its own network functions to support the requirements of different services. This approach enables network resources and functions to be allocated to specific services or customer segments in a flexible manner. It reduces complexity compared to existing networks that must support many different services and customers on a single common infrastructure. The key benefits of network slicing include improved network agility and the ability to support diverse service requirements.
