2. Grid Storage? Unavoidable
or Passing you by?
 Storage and Network Convergence
• the end of HBA’s, NICs – CNA’s in every server?
 FCoE/DCB/DCE and CEE
• the storage and network players and the ANSI/IEEE standards – are we
there yet?
 What of IBM’s XIV, V7000, V3700?
• a Seismic shift in the storage landscape is coming our way – Grid Storage
is unavoidable!
 Will iSCSI survive beyond 10Gb
• and why do you care/why should you care?
 What of ANSI’s SCSI3 FC-SW and FC-AL standards and
protocols?
• are we returning to the bad old days of vendor lock in across new world
order of ‘converged infrastructure’? Last dance for FC-SW?
 SAS
• is better than you think but not for the reasons that you think!
 Solid State Hard Drives
• expensive? Maybe not………look again!
