Storage area network. Multiple storage 
units (disk drives) and servers connected 
by networking topology.

Small computer system interface. A 
high-speed interface used to connect 
devices, such as hard drives, CD drives, 
printers, and scanners, to a computer. The 
SCSI can connect many devices using a 
single controller. Each device is accessed 
by an individual identification number on 
the SCSI controller bus.

Secure sockets layer. A cryptographic 
protocol that provides communications 
security over the Internet.

The storage-device endpoint of a SCSI 
session. Initiators request data from 
targets. Targets are typically disk-drives, 
tape-drives, or other media devices. 
Typically a SCSI peripheral device is the 
target but an adapter may, in some cases, 
be a target. A target can contain many 
LUNs.

A target is a device that responds to a 
requested by an initiator (the host system). 
Peripherals are targets, but for some 
commands (for example, a SCSI COPY 
command), the peripheral may act as an 
initiator.

Transmission control protocol. A set of 
rules to send data in packets over the 
Internet protocol.
