Re: Has anyone used PrimoCache to accelerate an iSCSI target under Windows 2008/2012 sever?

I understand Microsoft's approach to increased throughput + redundancy on iSCSI is still the MPIO feature in Windows. This is feature is only available on the server versions of the OS; however, I have noted that a Windows 8.1 client can have multiple connected (iSCSI) sessions with some sort of loa...
