KERNSAFE - iSCSI SAN Software and Storage Virtualization

This white paper shows how to setup a iSCSI SAN using iStorage Server for Citrix XenServer. Citrix is one of the biggest companies specializing in virtualization. It is proven to deliver reliable virtual and cloud based solutions all over the world. Combining iStorage Server and Citrix will allow you easily expand storage in your server by using iSCSI SAN. You may expand storage by 3 most commonly used ways:

• Use Virtual Image File Disk Device to create a file-based virtual storage device for Citrix - this allows quick data migration and backup.

• Directly use the physical disk or partition of Windows server. This enables good use of available resources, no additional configurations are required.

• Use CD/DVD/RW device or Virtual CD/DVD to map physical CD/DVD drives or CD/DVD image files (iso, .bin, .mdf, .cdi, .b5i, .nrg, .ccd, .sub, .img, .raw) on your Windows server to CD/DVD devices on Citrix.
