LIO (Linux-IO)

LIO (Linux-IO) is an open-source iSCSI target implementation used in Linux environments. It allows servers to share storage resources over a network, enabling other computers or devices to access and use that storage as if it were local. Essentially, LIO turns a Linux system into a storage server, making it possible to manage and allocate storage efficiently across different systems. This technology is particularly beneficial in data centers and cloud computing, where reliable and scalable storage solutions are essential for performance and data management.
