iSCSI for the Enterprise - Tiered Access

In the smaller data center, an iSCSI only strategy is typically more cost effective and desirable. However, iSCSI should be considered by medium and large size data centers, to develop a tiered access strategy. Tiered Access to Storage allows servers to access consolidated storage at a performance level and price point that makes sense for a specific server, the applications on that server and the storage attached to the storage infrastructure. Tiered Storage Access or Data/Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) fits best in the medium to large size data center.
