ARVADA, CO — (Marketwire) — 01/06/12 — announces its evaluation of the NetApp FAS3240 unified storage system, showing Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI and NFS storage traffic running simultaneously.The NetApp FAS3240 storage system was able to handle multiple file and block protocols simultaneously including NFS, iSCSI, FC and FCoE, and supported the bandwidth allocation capabilities of DCB known as Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS). It also provides traditional Fibre Channel data access on
ARVADA, CO — (Marketwire) — 10/14/11 — announces its evaluation of low latency host storage interfaces, comparing Fibre Channel, iSCSI and SAS for the same storage system.Block host interfaces, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI and SAS are all becoming increasingly available for today-s storage systems. While high IOPS is frequently the metric for assessing drive and array performance, in many cases latency is equally as important. For example, in an OLTP application, short response times are
