on the fly disk space -ISCSI target
November 12, 2004
Pros
Cons
Summary
Very cool software. Disk space can be added on the fly over a LAN in defined increments to other Windows systmes without taking any of the machines down, and without fussing with cables in cramped quarters. I didn't have to use a screwdriver to open the box to add a disk, just served it over Ethernet. Basically, you just click and allocate on a screen.
Low cost SAN that works!

Summary
I was surprized that after spending a fortune to build storage networks with high-end gear, that instead I could use PC servers and do a better job. Easy to use and it really accelerated performance.
