Vrolyk: I am either the fifth or sixth John Vrolyk in a row. My 13 year-old is also a "John Vrolyk." As a result, if you yelled "Hey John!" in our house, you might get anywhere from 1 to n (depending on how many of my ancestors are alive and on-site). As a result, almost everyone has a nickname. Mine is "Beau," which is a result of having spent a few of my early years in Tennessee.

Byte and Switch: Okay, Beau, so what's all the fuss about iSCSI [the soon to be ratified SCSI-over-IP standard]?
Vrolyk: iSCSI will do the same for storage networking that HTML did for Web browsing. Like HTML, iSCSI isnt elegant or gracious in the way that it works its simply going to be everywhere.
Every single time a debate over protocols comes up in networking, the market goes for the lowest common denominator. It doesnt need elegance, just ease and efficiency.
