I'm glad to announce a stable release 2.2 of SCST, alternative SCSI target stack for Linux with target drivers for iSCSI (iSCSI-SCST), QLogic Fibre Channel 22xx/23xx/24xx/25xx (qla2x00t), InfiniBand SRP (ib_srpt), scst_local as well as user space scstadmin management utility and fileio_tgt user space backend handler.
SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices, which provide advanced functionality, like replication, thin provisioning, deduplication, high availability, automatic backup, etc. Another class of such devices are Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL) as well as other disk-based backup solutions. SCST created devices not limited by IP network interface only, but they can use any link supporting SCSI-style data exchange, including Fibre Channel, SAS and parallel SCSI. It might well be that your favorite storage appliance running SCST in the firmware.
