IP SAN adoption is growing among users who want storage that’s easy to install, configure and manage, and also comes at a price considerably less than that of Fibre Channel (FC) SANs. Consider Dave DePillis, manager of IT operations at Allied Cash Advance in Miami, who installed an iSCSI SAN (IP SAN) two years ago to make use of the cabling, switches and network adapters installed in his Gigabit Ethernet network. “Installing iSCSI was absolutely a no-brainer, especially since I had such a small initial investment,” says DePillis. He’s using iSCSI to back up file shares on four to six virtual machines with Symantec Corp.’s Backup Exec 11 to a Network Appliance (Net-App) Inc. FAS2020 file server. “I have more flexibility with iSCSI since I can use my LAN switches,” says DePillis. Jame
