ISCSI

iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is Storage Area Network (SAN) protocol.]] It is used to connect clients (initiators) to host (target) storage devices. iSCSI can be helpful when transporting large amounts of data over long distances, as a multi-site backup solution, or to provide additional storage options to machines that are lacking the capacity for additional local storage.
