iSCSI Disks
Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is a standard that defines the encapsulation of SCSI packets in
TCP and their transmission via IP. On Snap Servers, an iSCSI Disk is based on an

drive. This storage virtualization frees the administrator from the physical
limitations of direct-attached storage media and allows capacity to be expanded
easily as needed. Unlike standard Snap Server volumes, Snap Server iSCSI Disks
can be formatted by the iSCSI client to accommodate different application
requirements.
