We`re upgrading our few years old system to new configuration. Here is it: • Dual Xeon-2.8 GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 1TB HDD • Xeon 7000 Sequence, 8GB RAM, 4 TB HDD • Intel Xeon DP 3.8F, 4 GB RAM, 2TB HDD I`m running MS Windows Server 2003 R2 on old stuff. I want to install Windows Server Core R2, and manage it remotely, either iSCSI, while on other 2 – Widows Server 2008 R2. I`d like to install Server Core R2 to Xeon-2.8, to run Active Directory Domain Service and Hyper-V on it. Also I`m thinking to purchase Discs Array HP StorageWorks MSA60. My old shared storage was managed by such iSCSI solution as SvSAN, but it`s no good for me now. What would you adjust me, please?

I think it will be good to use iSCSI for managing all that stuff. As I know the best in iSCSI are StarWind, Datacore and Lefthand. Anyone?

I has used Openfiler and Datacore. Datacore is too complicated for me. Openfiler have GUI,but I have however found the GUI frontend can easily become unresponsive which can be a little frustrating. Now I`m using StarWind. I'm fully satisfied with their product and service.
