Development for IP-based storage networking
Tornado for Intelligent Network Acceleration (TINA) for iSCSI Initiators is a development platform for IP-based storage networking devices
TINA for iSCSI Initiators bundles Wind River's TINA TCP/IP offload engine with an Internet SCSI (iSCSI) protocol layer, providing network equipment manufacturers with all necessary the hardware and software components needed to develop iSCSI-based storage networking devices. Wind River has leveraged its expertise in TCP/IP offload to the rapidly growing IP-based storage network market, enabling manufacturers to quickly build iSCSI-based storage networking devices including IP-based host bus adapters, storage routers and other iSCSI-enabled devices.

iSCSI-based storage networking enables block storage data to be transmitted via TCP/IP and Ethernet locally or globally via the Internet.
By leveraging the reduced costs, superior interoperability and long-term performance curve of Ethernet and TCP/IP, iSCSI promises to find wide adoption in the storage networking market.
Gartner predicts that the iSCSI initiator market will increase from a 2002 market value of $590 million to $1.22 billion in 2005.
TINA for iSCSI Initiators provides both complete gigabit Ethernet (GbE) TCP/IP offload support and a draft standard version 0.8 compliant iSCSI protocol layer, enabling storage networking manufacturers to quickly and easily develop iSCSI-enabled storage devices.
"As a natural extension of our TINA product line, TINA for iSCSI Initiators integrates the technology found in our original TCP/IP offload platform and applies it directly to the rapidly growing storage networking market", said Dave Fraser, group vice president and general manager of Wind River's Networks business unit.
"TINA for iSCSI Initiators delivers significantly reduced development time and expense, allowing manufacturers to quickly get products to market and establish an early position in the emerging IP-based storage market.
It also provides an ideal solution for SAN vendors migrating their product lines from costly Fibre Channel transports to the much more affordable and increasingly widespread TCP/IP and Ethernet networking technologies".
