iSCSI vs Fibre-Channel



Say that you have the infrastructure for BOTH iSCSI and FC-AL built and connected to your SAN. What is the cost for iSCSI vs FC-AL? Say that you have HP servers.



The comparison is above: Have Fun. In the end iSCSI cost more per MB/sec of transport, this is usable transport. Since the whole TCP/IP windowing comes into play 60MB/sec is the best recommended speed you'll get out of a 1Gig pipe.
