Answers to Your IT Nightmares

SAS, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel?

Storage Connection Types Choosing Connection Types for SANs

(Storage Area Networks) is Tricky We’re Sharing Key Differences

SAS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel

Lower in Cost SAS 1GbE iSCSI

SAS Connections Speed Options

3Gb/s 6Gb/s 12Gb/s

Number of Connections Dependent Upon Generation Connect 2 to 4 Servers Redundantly to SAN

1-855-AVENTIS | AventisSystems.com

1GbE iSCSI Connections 2 to 4 Ports per Controller

1GbE Each No Limit to Connecting Servers Things to Note:

Watch How Many Machines Connect to the SAN

Bottleneck → Performance Issues Need 1GbE Switches

1-855-AVENTIS | AventisSystems.com

10GbE iSCSI Connections 10 Times the Speed of 1GbE iSCSI Why Higher Costs?

Need 10GbE Switches 10GbE Switches + 10 GbE NICs = $$$

Fibre Channel Connections Speed Options

4Gb/s 8Gb/s 16Gb/s

Transmits Data Using Light More Reliable Faster Connect Over Longer Distances No EMI (electromagnetic interference)

Fibre Channel Connections Number of Connections

Usually Limited to 2 to 4 Redundant Can Expand with Fibre Channel SAN Switch

Why Higher Costs? Cards Cables SFPs

Summary SAS and 1GbE iSCSI are Cheaper iSCSI Provides Most Coverage

1GbE Cheaper to Deploy than 10GbE iSCSI Can Have EMI Effects

Fibre Channel Cannot Fibre Channel

More Expensive Faster More Reliable
