More and more vendors are putting their faith in iSCSI as a way for users to reap the benefits of emerging technologies such as 10-Gbit/s Ethernet.

First up was 4Blox, which took the wraps off a software package called 4Mezzo to offload iSCSI processing in a manner similar to existing HBAs.

"With port aggregation of multiple gigs and technologies like 10-Gbit/s Ethernet, CPUs can become constrained," says 4Blox CEO Dan Munro. "Our software offloads the burden on the CPU for those workloads."
