Why each option
iSCSI offers advantages over Fibre Channel SANs by utilizing existing Ethernet infrastructure and enabling faster integration into networks.
Both iSCSI and Fibre Channel can be made compatible with IPv6, so this is not a distinct advantage for iSCSI.
iSCSI utilizes standard Ethernet networks, allowing organizations to reuse their existing network infrastructure (switches, cabling) without investing in dedicated Fibre Channel HBAs and switches. This significantly reduces deployment costs and complexity.
Security compliance is dependent on implementation and security measures, not an inherent advantage of iSCSI over Fibre Channel; both require proper security configurations.
Storage capacity is determined by the connected storage arrays, not by the interconnect technology (iSCSI vs. Fibre Channel) itself.
Because iSCSI uses standard Ethernet and TCP/IP, its integration is generally faster and simpler than Fibre Channel, which requires specialized hardware, zoning configurations, and often a steeper learning curve.
