Abstract :
A company has developed a new technology that promises lower costs in the popular networked-storage market. Coraid´s ATA (advanced technology attachment) over Ethernet (AoE) will now compete with technologies such as fibre channel over IP and iSCSI (Internet small computer system interface). Networked storage is popular because it makes it easier for companies to share storage among multiple servers, add capacity, and centralize system management. However, the technology typically has been expensive. AoE, on the other hand, uses technologies that lower networked-storage costs
