It's easy to set up, too: we soon configured the two network ports on our Dell server to be on different subnets, logged on to the iSCSI target, and from the advanced settings created two sets of source IP and target portal associations. We could see from the Device Manager that we had two new hard disks along with the MPIO driver. While running Iometer on the virtual disk, we could pull either network cable out of the server and it continued unhindered.

The iGloo 24T-StorMagic delivers an IP SAN solution for a good price. The StorMagic software offers an impressive range of features, with simple configuration and management as a top priority - IP SAN setup really doesn't get any easier than this.
