An iSCSI target is a storage resource located on an iSCSI server (more generally, one of potentially many instances of iSCSI storage nodes running on that server) as a "target". An iSCSI target usually represents hard disk storage, often accessed using an Ethernet -based network.
Internet Small Computer Systems Interface or iSCSI (/ aɪ ˈ s k ʌ z i / ⓘ eye-SKUZ-ee) is an Internet Protocol-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. iSCSI provides block-level access to storage devices by carrying SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network. iSCSI facilitates data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances.
Some researchers have made a functional and experimental analysis of several distributed file systems including HDFS, Ceph, Gluster, Lustre and old (1.6.x) version of MooseFS, although this document is from 2013 and a lot of information are outdated (e.g. MooseFS had no HA for Metadata Server at that time).
Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems (Sun) in 1984, [1] allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed.
LIO competes with other SCSI target modules in the Linux ecosystem. The SCSI Target Framework (SCST) [4] is a prominent alternative for general SCSI target functionality, while for iSCSI-specific targets, the older iSCSI Enterprise Target (IET) and SCSI Target Framework (STGT) also have industry adoption.

A cloud storage gateway is a hybrid cloud storage device, implemented in hardware or software, which resides at the customer premises and translates cloud storage APIs such as SOAP or REST to block-based storage protocols such as iSCSI or Fibre Channel or file-based interfaces such as NFS or SMB.
By striping volumes across the cluster, Ceph improves performance for large block device images. "Ceph-iSCSI" is a gateway which enables access to distributed, highly available block storage from Microsoft Windows and VMware vSphere servers or clients capable of speaking the iSCSI protocol. By using ceph-iscsi on one or more iSCSI gateway hosts ...
TrueNAS can be used on many network clients, including Windows, macOS and Unix, and is compatible with virtualization hosts such as XCP-NG, XenServer and VMware. Networking protocols supported by TrueNAS include SMB, AFP, NFS, iSCSI, SSH, rsync and FTP/TFTP. Advanced features include full-disk encryption and a plug-in architecture for third ...
