Complex Systems-RAID,SAN,NAS
Comparing IDE and SCSI Drives

IDE Drives-designed as fast, SATA Drives-attached


low-cost drives.(ATA standards) with only four wires and a
with parallel 40-pin/80- smaller power connector
conductor connector.
Understanding User Account Control
SCSI drives -typically offer faster performance and throughput than IDE drives, and SCSI drives can
support a larger number of drives that can be attached using the same interface.

68 PINS
Introducing Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks
-uses two or more drives in combination to create a fault-tolerant system that protects against
physical hard drive failure and increases hard drive performance.

-hardware or software and is usually used with network servers.

Hot Spare
 When drives need to be fault tolerant, you can combine a hot spare drive with a RAID.

 Then, if a drive fails, the system will automatically grab the hot spare drive to replace the
failed drive and rebuild or restore the missing data.
Network Attached Storage and Storage Area
Networks
Network attached storage
(NAS)- file-level data storage
device that is connected to a
computer network to provide
shared drives or folders, usually
using SMB/CIFS.
Network Attached Storage and Storage Area
Networks
Storage area network (SAN)-
an architecture used for disk
arrays, tape libraries, and optical
jukeboxes to appear as locally
attached drives on a server.

To make the system redundant


against drive failure and to offer
high performance. SANs also
usually contain spare drives and
snapshotting,volume cloning.
Network Attached Storage and Storage Area
Networks
Host bus adapter (HBA)- Logical unit numbers
connects a host system such as (LUNs)- allow a SAN to
a computer to a network or break its storage down into

Fiber Channel(FC)
 a gigabit-speed technology primarily used for storage networking.

 It uses a Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) as its transport protocol, which allows SCSI
commands to be issued over Fibre Channel.

Fabric-devices are connected to each other through one or more data path
iSCSI
 Internet Small Computing System Interface or iSCSI is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage
networking standard for linking data storage facilities.

 Allows llows clients to send SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network using TCP port 3260

 an communicate using Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre, and it can connect a SAN to multiple servers over a
distance.
 network adaptor must be dedicated to iSCSI
