Organizations with changing data requirements, especially those requiring data storage security or disaster recovery, will benefit most from the introduction of IP storage and iSCSI. As performance increases and iSCSI SANs become biquitous, they will gradually be integrated into enterprise TCP/IP networks. Distributed intelligent services and automated allocation of storage resources via virtualization will become an integral part of the future evolution of iSCSI SANs. Intel is actively involved in the advancement of iSCSI solutions. It is in the process of developing an iSCSI storage NIC, the Intel PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter. Other involvement includes open software development through membership in the Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA). Intel is also a key group member of the SNIA subcommittee on iSCSI.
