"Practical iSCSI Deployment and Management"

"Practical iSCSI Deployment and Management" is an authoritative guide for storage, network, and system professionals seeking to master the deployment and ongoing management of iSCSI-based infrastructures. The book delivers a structured exploration of the iSCSI protocol, from fundamental principles and architecture to nuanced comparisons with alternative storage technologies. Readers will gain deep insight into protocol operations—including session multiplexing, advanced naming conventions, and endpoint relationships—setting a strong technical foundation for designing and implementing robust iSCSI environments.

With a clear emphasis on real-world applicability, this volume covers critical aspects of network design, target and initiator configuration, performance engineering, and advanced security strategies. It presents actionable blueprints for optimizing enterprise-scale networks, implementing high-availability and disaster recovery, tuning TCP/IP for optimal throughput, and ensuring compliance with regulatory mandates. Granular topics such as multipathing, dynamic provisioning, and API-driven orchestration are addressed alongside modern requirements for virtualization, containers, and multi-tenant cloud architectures.

Drawing from a wealth of case studies, operational playbooks, and capacity planning models, the book equips IT leaders with the know-how to tackle complex scaling, automation, and interoperability challenges in heterogeneous environments. Whether integrating legacy storage, managing disaster recovery workflows, or future-proofing against emerging standards like NVMe/TCP, this comprehensive resource ensures practitioners are equipped to deliver resilient, high-performance iSCSI solutions that align with both technical and business objectives.
