SCSI
Small Computer System Interface is a set of standards for physically connecting and transferring
data between computers and peripheral devices. The RDX 8000 uses the SCSI protocol transmitted
via iSCSI packets over the user’s computer network.
SMI-S
SMI-S, or the Storage Management Initiative Specification, is a storage standard developed and
maintained by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA). It has also been ratified as
an ISO standard. SMI-S is based upon the Common Information Model (CIM) and the Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) standards defined by the Distributed Management Task Force
(DMTF), which define management functionality via HTTP. The most recent approved version of
SMI-S is available at the SNIA.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on
IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations,
printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor
network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
USB
Universal Serial Bus is an interface designed to provide high speed connection of various device
types in a hot pluggable manner. The RDX 8000 system has one USB 2.0 port located on the front
