[BBLISA] iSCSI - opinions / experiences?

[Guillermo Chang]

Hi,

I've been successfully using an Equallogic storage array with Microsoft
software initiators for over a year now.  It was very easy to set up and the
performance is decent when you put it on a separate network. I set up a few
volumes that are used by database and email servers.
