    iSCSI applications include:
    • Run databases on disk
    • Offer users disk space on demand
    • Video imaging and graphical image store

    • Snap shot of critical data
    Advantages of using iSCSI applications

    • You may be able to scale disk storage as per your specific requirement.  As the disks are remote from the server you may be able to easily add a new disk whenever required. Large storage rooms with volumes that are in the range of teta or petabytes can be created.
    • As the application is on LAN, you may be able to leverage the existing network architecture.  A block level interface is provided and this is compatible with database applications (Oracle).
    • The storage system can be seamlessly integrated into the SAN environment.  It allows mirroring, IP based replication and clustering of data.
    As there are many industrial storage solutions providers, it is best to do adequate research about them so that you are able to choose wisely and benefit from it.
