Redefining Affordable Storage Expansion with Buffalo Network Storage

In today's data-driven world, modern businesses face an ever-increasing demand for storage capacity. However, investing in expensive high-end servers for storage replacement or expansion isn't always the most cost-effective solution. Instead, businesses can consider a Buffalo NAS with iSCSI as a smart alternative. This option offers affordable storage expansion at up to half the cost, without compromising on performance.

What is iSCSI?

In short, iSCSI is a protocol that allows SCSI commands to be transmitted over TCP, which enables remote storage servers to be connected to your system as if they were local storage.

iSCSI is relevant because it offers the best performance value for adding storage space to a virtual host (server) without raising costs. Since iSCSI operates on TCP/IP protocols, it utilizes the same standardized, inexpensive Ethernet equipment as a local area network (LAN), which not only provides the flexibility of allowing differently-branded network storage devices to integrate seamlessly on the same network, but also reduces potential costs by preventing the need to purchase specialized hardware. iSCSI also does not require specialized IT staff as any technician who is familiar with TCP/IP can easily install, configure, and troubleshoot an iSCSI-SAN.

iSCSI improves PC performance in the network by allowing large storage arrays to connect to client systems without the need for custom hardware or cabling. iSCSI offers the best performance value for adding storage space to a virtual host (server).
