fully implements iSCSI, FiberChannel-over-Ethernet (FCoE) and ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE) client side protocols enabling you to connect to remote storage appliances such as remote iSCSI targets, tape drive, DVD-ROM image libraries and, and create RAID-0 (striping RAID), RAID-1 (mirror RAID) and JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) disk arrays, and so on. StarPort connects to iSCSI, FCoE or AoE targets and creates local virtual optical drive (CD/DVD/HD-DVD/BD), extending your computing infrastructure. Create an ISO or MDS image of your optival drive with any disk grabbing utility and save it to your hard drive, which than you can mount as optical drive. StarPort's iSCSI support enables connectivity to remote storage devices over a standard IP network, regardless of where the device resides. With StarPort and iSCSI you can gain full access to any device, as though the device was installed on a local machine. Re-partition, format a remote hard disk drive with any file system, burn to a remote disk, implement automatic backup procedures to a remote tape drive, access remote storage devices connected through Serial and Parallel ATA and SCSI, Fibre Channel, USB or FireWire and more. AoE protocol support provides the same functionality as iSCSI in those environments where ATA-over-Ethernet technology is used. Co RAID produces network storage appliances currently using AoE as the core protocol. AoE delivers a simple, high performance, low cost alternative to iSCSI and FibreChannel for networked block storage by eliminating the processing overhead of TCP/IP. Unsatisfied with the speed of disk I/O operations? Need a fast drive to store Internet Explorer cache files? Use StarPort's RAM drive emulation which is more than 1000 times faster than your local hard drive. A RAM drive appears to your system and applications as a standard disk volume where you can read and write files. No longer limited to the hard drives speed, the RAM drive feature provides amazingly faster speed.
