it's called iSCSI (and it's a protocol). Competes with FibreChannel.
iSCSI is actually over ethernet and done at the OS layer. You need an OS to support it
and any storage from a host/sever system (even SATA, etc) can be served as an iSCSI LUN.
iSCSI is a protocol, so it doesn't require OS support (depends upon the network
card?dumb ones need OS/driver support,
smart iSCSI capable cards show up as you'd expect).
