PyX iSCSI Protocol Stack
The advanced features designed into the architecture of the PyX iSCSI protocol stack enables efficient and cost-effective storage transport by optimizing bandwidth usage, enabling unlimited storage to be attached to each target device, and leveraging existing network technologies. The iSCSI technology, fully compliant with the IETF RFC 3270 standard, enables an enterprise-level IP storage platform that transports data to and from networked storage with full error recovery (ERL2), automatic load balancing, and multi-path capabilities previously available only in costly Fibre Channel architectures. Because of the ubiquity of IP networks, iSCSI transmits data from any storage (SATA/SAS/SCSI, Fibre Channel/etc.) over LANs, WANs, or the Internet and enables location independent data storage and retrieval.
