Default adding iSCSI to existing SAN

I am sure this is stupid question.

I have an existing Clarrion CX500 SAN. I would like to add iSCSI
capabilities to the storage network. What do I need?

I know it's a gateway of some sort but I can't find any part numbers or
even what a device would be called.

Thanks,
V

You can use third party gateway products (sanrad and left hand
networks come to mind) like you mentioned or use functionality in a
switch. Most major switch vendors have a blade that will do iSCSI on
it.

If you're looking for a specific EMC device for your needs, you're
probably thinking of their NAS Gateway devices:

The NS500G for instance.
