Part 3 - Server Side - iSCSI Host Bus Adapters and IP Performance I looked at how server side issues would affect the traffic generated on a per server basis. I recommended that you use iSCSI HBAs for high intensity servers to meet the high levels of performance. The next level is evaluate how the server should connect to the network, specifically, this means how many ethernet ports you need, and what configuration is needed to support them to deliver high availability / redundancy and increased bandwidth. ]]> http://etherealmind.com/iscsi-network-design-part-5-iscsi-multipathing-hba-ha-high-availability-redundancy/feed/ 6 http://etherealmind.com/not-anti-fcoe-i-am-anti-fibrechannel/ http://etherealmind.com/not-anti-fcoe-i-am-anti-fibrechannel/#comments Thu, 17 Apr 2008 06:54:06 +0000 Greg Ferro http://etherealmind.com/?p=165 Dante Malagrino at the Cisco Data Center blog yesterday. He writes a good post on why FCoE might be a good idea. Let me just say I am not only anti-FCoE, I am anti-Fibrechannel.
