The paper reports that EMC has entered the Internet Small Computer System (iSCSI) storage area network (SAN) market in February 2005 by rolling out a new range of Clariion arrays that use Internet Protocol (IP) technology. And EMC would not be alone, as key Clariion partner Dell will also add the product to its lineup of storage offerings. The new iSCSI Clariion arrays--the AX1OOi, CX300i, and CX500i--will mirror the AX1OO, CX300, and CX500 Fibre Channel versions. Prices will be the same, but information technology departments will save money because the iSCSI versions do not require Fibre Channel fabric components such as host bus adapters, cabling, and switches. There will be a performance cost, however, as the iSCSI products have about half the input/output performance of their Fibre Channel counterparts. The entry-level AX1OOi holds as many as 12 Serial ATA drives, for as much as three terabytes of storage. Demand for IP-based SAN is expected to grow, as small organizations and remote workgroups implement the technology. IDC predicts nearly 20 percent of the revenue in the sub-$15,000 external storage array market will come from iSCSI technology this year. EMC rivals IBM and Network Appliance already offer similar products that support iSCSI.
