In February Frank Berry wrote an article about how Intel and Microsoft are tweaking iSCSI for enterprise applications, improving CPU efficiency as well as blasting through some very impressive IOPS numbers. Steven Foskett has a very interesting article on on how it was done and rightfully asks the more important question, can your storage handle the truth? [...]
