I don't have an investment in either. AoE is a local storage network protocol: it can't be routed, but it can be the basis for cheap cluster storage. OCFS will run on it. If you can dedicate a switch or a VLAN to it, and separate interfaces on all relevant hardware, it's probably got pretty good performance over gig-e, even with no special hardware from Coraid. iSCSI is more complex. It goes over TCP/IP. It can be routed, it has authentication (but not encryption) and can be used over a VPN or IPsec. I see lots of people making money selling iSCSI products... -dsr- -- http://tao.merseine.nu/~dsr/eula.html is hereby incorporated by reference.
