SAS, FC or iSCSI Host Attachment

• 4 or 8 Gbit/s connections for bandwidth-hungry applications 

(streaming, backup)

• Deterministic performance, best scalability
• The choice for datacenter, business-critical applications

Fibre Channel: when 
performance matters

• 1 Gbit/s connections are OK for most applications
• Well-know IP infrastructure has lower training cost
• Dedicated network recommended for scalability

iSCSI: easiest step 

towards networked 

storage

• SAS HBA is cheaper than FC HBA, and has excellent 

bandwidth

• Ideal for clusters: 2x HA direct attached, or 4x without 

failover

SAS: cheap and fast 

direct attachment, 

especially for small 

clusters
