The HP ProLiant Essentials Accelerated iSCSI Pack enables the embedded Multifunction NIC on a ProLiant server to run accelerated iSCSI on Windows and Linux. iSCSI allows block-level storage data to be transported over widely used IP networks, enabling end users to access the storage network from anywhere in the enterprise. Additionally, it offloads the iSCSI function to the NIC rather than taxing the CPU of the server.
