Please read OLTP as OLPC in my earlier
posting. - Bala -----Original Message----- Hello All, I would like to know if having iSCSI
initiator software would help in extending the storage capability of the OLTP ? Though the same objective can be
achieved by NFS, iSCSI is more CPU efficient in providing access to the
storage. I am imagining/assuming the
school/community center would provide a common iSCSI target to which all the
OLTP Laptops will connect to. Please post your comments and
feedback. Thanks and Regards, -Bala ps: iSCSI initiator provides block
level access to storage over TCP/IP Network. With iSCSI initiator on OLTP
laptop (connected to an iSCSI target
over wire-less network) the user can use the storage as if a local hard
disk is present. This software is already part of Linux operating systems.
But including that in OLTP might call for trimming down, optimizing and
integrating with other OLTP components. |
