How does an iSCSI SAN compare to Direct Attach Storage (DAS)?
DAS, a traditional method of connecting storage to a server, provides storage to only one specific server. As the number of servers and total storage grows, this creates significant costs to manage, backup the data and greatly increases the likelihood of a fault. An iSCSI SAN allows multiple servers to access data in a single pool of storage, resulting in reduced cost, ease of management, increased storage, and greater uptime.
