Just now trying to determine if I should go with a single/dual port iSCSI card or a Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter EXPI9404PT card.
System will be used for VMware datastore. Guest machines will be Linux, Windows servers, from Web servers to DB servers. This is a proof of concept for our lab but very important and used daily and will be pushed.
Looking forward to the responses.
thanks
