Most storage networks use the SCSI protocol for communication between servers and disk drive devices. A mapping layer to other protocols is used to form a network:

  • ATA over Ethernet (AoE), mapping of ATA over Ethernet
  • Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP), the most prominent one, is a mapping of SCSI over Fibre Channel
  • Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
  • ESCON over Fibre Channel (FICON), used by mainframe computers
  • HyperSCSI, mapping of SCSI over Ethernet
  • iFCP[2] or SANoIP[3] mapping of FCP over IP
  • iSCSI, mapping of SCSI over TCP/IP
  • iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER), mapping of iSCSI over InfiniBand
