LeftHand introduces iSCSI target appliance for ESX server

LeftHand Networks recently announced a software iSCSI target for ESX Server. It basically lets you reclaim all your unused disk space in your ESX box, and stick it on your SAN. I'm excited about this, we maxed out our ESX box to hold us over until we purchase our SAN, and this is a perfect way to use all that space. I'm thinking VM backups in case we lost the SAN for some reason. Or maybe IT storage (ISOs, Ghost images). We'll evaluate our needs after our EqualLogic box gets here and the local drives on the ESX server are emptied.
