Fibre Channel and iSCSI Performance Comparison for DSS Workloads Using SQL Server 2005

Overview For many years, large enterprises have relied on Fibre Channel (FCP) as the default Storage Area Network (SAN) protocol for high-performance application and database workloads. As enterprises look to drive down costs and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of IT environments, many have sought alternative, lower-cost mechanisms to provide similar scalability to that of conventional FCP deployments. iSCSI leverages the ubiquitous features of Ethernet topologies and TCP/IP by encapsulating the SCSI command set over IP. While iSCSI technology may seem like a new concept, it really represents the marriage of two rock-solid, proven communication protocols: IP and SCSI.
