The Golden Rule ... v2?

Just working on a 'tweak' of the Golden Rule.
"Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

Here is a version my friend Gary created:
"Do not take from others more than they are willing to give."

Here are some notes of my "work in progress":
"If all appropriate information is known and agreed, then do unto others as others request, otherwise, do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

SANmelody software

converts PC servers into cost-effective expansion disk servers. Their added capacity appears as additional internal drives to disk-starved servers on LANs or SANs. This simple solution eliminates the need to commission extra application servers when the existing systems have no more room to add disks. Advanced options include point-in-time snapshots, auto failover across redundant disk servers, auto provisioning of disk space and long-distance asynchronous replication over IP WANs. These functions are host-independent and operate without occupying resources on the application servers.

Network Boot From iSCSI Storage Using Existing Ethernet Adapters

netBoot/i provides the ability to network boot Windows Servers and Desktops from an iSCSI target remotely located over a standard IP network.

With netBoot/i, lower cost blade / diskless servers and desktops are now supported in iSCSI environments. Using standard Ethernet adapters, netBoot/i offers an iSCSI network boot solution without requiring specific iSCSI HBA hardware.

Servers and desktops can now leverage the benefits of iSCSI disaster recovery. Diskless operation of servers, server farms and desktops allows network management tasks to be consolidated and streamlined while data security is significantly improved. netBoot/i enables rapid bare metal deployment, increases utilization of storage resources and virtualizes operating system data storage.

netBoot/i includes a Windows software initiator driver and all the necessary administration tools to set up an iSCSI network boot environment.

wow! simply wow

Based on industry-standard Internet Protocol (IP), Zetera Z-SAN™ technology eliminates the need for costly controllers, gateways and RAID controllers that have limited network storage to the enterprise. Z-SAN represents the natural evolution of network storage and delivers on the vision of true Storage-over-IP (SoIP). Z-SAN network storage technology delivers line-speed, controller-less IP storage for a fraction of the cost of iSCSI or Fibre Channel. Z-SAN uses IP as the storage fabric (e.g., SoIP), delivering network storage without bottlenecks and at the lowest cost. The technology uses IP multicast to achieve sharing, spanning and RAID without specialized hardware while scaling linearly without the need for additional controllers/aggregators. http://www.zetera.com/Technology/Overview.html
