A financial institution needs a technology solution that allows their existing network infrastructure to carry storage traffic without requiring specialized hardware while maintaining data security. Which converged protocol would best serve this purpose?
Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) is the correct answer because it enables storage traffic to be carried over standard IP networks, allowing organizations to implement storage area networks without specialized hardware. iSCSI encapsulates SCSI commands within TCP/IP packets, leveraging existing network infrastructure while supporting security features like CHAP authentication and IPsec encryption for data protection.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is incorrect as it's designed for voice communications over IP networks, not storage traffic. InfiniBand over Ethernet primarily focuses on high-speed server interconnects and computing clusters with extremely low latency requirements for high-performance computing environments. Compute Express Link (CXL) is a high-speed interconnect designed for processor-to-device communication within servers, particularly for connecting CPUs to accelerators and memory expansion devices - not for network-based storage access.
