Types of Host Interfaces
A host interface is an option that is two per set.
The following types are available SAN or NAS connections.

FC
Fibre Channel (FC) enables high speed data transfer over long distances by using optical fibers and coaxial ca-
bles. FC is used for database servers where enhanced scalability and high performance are required.
●
iSCSI
iSCSI is a communication protocol that transfers SCSI commands by encapsulating them in IP packets over Ether-
net.
Since iSCSI can be installed at a lower cost and the network configuration is easier to change than FC, iSCSI is
commonly used by divisions of large companies and by small and medium-sized companies where scalability
and cost-effectiveness are valued over performance.
