Before using the iSA1500 for the first time, I had to assign available disks to storage pools. The iSA1500 is more limited than a locally attached RAID controller--entire disks must be dedicated to a pool. Once the pool is defined, the iSA1500 formats the array, which takes nearly 24 hours for a 1-TB RAID-5 array.
The key differentiator and timesaver in Adaptec's iSA1500 is its "three clicks to a terabyte" automation tool. The ASM and ASM Agent cut the dozens of tasks usually required to connect an iSCSI host and target down to just three clicks in a Web interface.

AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
