- Lower infrastructure cost compared to fiber channel (FC) SAN environment. Cost of building a storage network environment based on iSCSI is significantly less. Network hardware and network management is less expensive and iSCSI leverages Ethernet technology that can be applied to storage networking problems such as encryption
- Access to SAN storage enables storage consolidation and easier management rather than individual direct attach storage (DAS) system.
- Low host CPU utilization as the processing of data is offloaded to the NIC. Offloading can improve the speed with which requests are processed and sent to the network
