I recommend this product in cases when we have to Deploy scale-out storage grids in automated environments; it can be done in minutes rather than days. Another exciting point is the quality of service that it allows for establishing different performance tiers without a need for physical tiering. A point against, from my point of view, is connectivity because it only provides a connection by iscsi.
