Last week’s piece on Ethernet’s “Goldilocks” problem generated some thought provoking responses, but one really caught my attention: if we are to suggest that iSCSI is a viable alternative storage protocol for converged networking, where does that leave NFS? After all, storage vendors are increasingly pushing NFS as an alternative to iSCSI for the storage of virtual machine environments. If it’s good enough for VMware ESX, doesn’t it deserve a place at the adult table when discussing converged networking?
