Hewlett-Packard Co. will announce its entry into the IP storage market Monday with an iSCSI storage router, which lets SCSI data be transported across a gigabit Ethernet network.

Network Appliance Inc. didn't waste any time this week, announcing support for iSCSI on two existing arrays/file servers just as the protocol was becoming an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) proposed standard.

Deepfile Corp. CEO Jeff Erramouspe said that half the files on a typical corporate network are unaccounted for, either because they are redundant or haven't been accessed for a long time. Not only does this waste storage capacity, but it's a difficult environment to manage and can leave a company exposed to security risks, he said.

The long-delayed iSCSI standard is set to gain Internet Engineering Task Force approval within weeks, which means it's "put up or shut up" time for vendors that have cited its incompleteness as justification for failing to support the IP storage specification in their arrays.
