SAN-storage device instead of fileserver: iSCSI performance test: DataCore SANmelody 2.0 vs, Open-E iSCSI Enterprise 1.51
While it is the top version of the product family, Open-E iSCSI Enterprise is only half the price of the basic SANmelody kit. The latter is clearly more sophisticated, but Open-E provides a better price-per-performance ratio for small - to medium - sized enterprises. Proof can also be found in the benchmark results: Open-E iSCSI dominates all disciplines except in I/O performance.

Many Ways lead to IP-SAN
Open-E-Storage-Appliances are well suited for administrators that like to assembe their storage systems themselves. The bootable thumb driver is very flexible insertable and supports many prior and current storage components as well as processors. The iSCSI-target of the DSS and the iSCSI-R3-Appliance have therefore proved of value in the Real-World Labs Poing in the long run.
Solution providers take note: This is vendor which have some hot technology and want to work with the channel. Read more »

Midrex is a Steel, Coal and Mining Industry company so capacity and replication is our main concerns. I have experienced many different systems in the market to provide iSCSI Targets to our systems and by the reviews and contacting Open-E to inquire about DSS we made the decision to go with DSS. We grow a 1TB minimally every 3 months using SAS controllers for our capacity needs so this requirement to expand is a must. The DSS allows this with its Physical Volume expansion feature allowing us to add to our Volume Groups with ease. Now came the real test to provide Volume Replication, this was just as simple as the expansion using the two DSS servers. We tested the failover to our DSS destination server and without a problem the data was intact. Many tests where compiled over the months in search for a product to perform these simple tasks and the Open-E DSS handle very well.
