Forrester recommends that companies should evaluate iSCSI SAN solutions as a means of addressing their data growth in a cost-effective and simple manner. The strong adoption numbers, combined with the overall positive experience that users reported from a broad range of geographies, industries, as well as company and storage environment sizes, lead Forrester to believe that the time has come for companies of all types and sizes to consider iSCSI for mainstream adoption. This paper explores the ways in which existing users have deployed the technology, the successes and issues they have seen, as well as the perceptions of those who have not deployed iSCSI in their storage environment.
