Do You Have A Production Need for SMI-S In The Microsoft iSCSI Target?

Category: Windows Server / Tag: ,  / Add Comment

The Microsoft iSCSI target enables you to turn Windows into an iSCSI storage platform.  This can provide economic storage, or give you an iSCSI gateway into a different type of storage.  It’s a free download right now, and will be built into Windows Server 8.

Now for the question:

If you could have it, would you use SMI-S in the Microsoft iSCSI target in a production scenario?  I am not talking about labs, or demos, or proof of concept for VMM 2012.  I am talking about production use of SMI-S and the Microsoft iSCSI target.

If you do have a case then please let me know.  I’ll need specifics – customer, case, how it’ll be used, etc.  Who knows …
