We currently have an older FC SAN. I've been looking at some newer iSCSI options. It seems to me that these are significantly more affordable than FC, so I've been considering buying one. I don't see us exceeding 10Gb speeds anytime soon, and by the time we do, I expect that much faster Gb speeds will be available at a reasonable cost. When speaking with a vendor recently they remarked to me that iSCSI is a Windows protocol and that while using iSCSI with Mac would probably work, no SAN vendor (such as Dell or HP) would support such usage.

Thoughts?Never speak to that vendor again. Leadtools 17 keygen for mac. That's absolutely false and totally insane. ISCSI is vendor agnostic and not windows in any way, shape or form. That's a level of knowledge so clueless that the vendor is either too clueless for you to ever trust or, far more likely, malicious and trying to screw you out of a lot of money. Stop talking to them and walk away. ISCSI is used with Mac all of the time, in fact, it's used more with Mac than any other desktop type for random use case reasons and is actually standard on Mac and literally no other desktop OS. Your vendor couldn't be blowing more smoke.
How can iSCSi be Windows even the name with a lowercase 'i' must mean its an Apple thing;-) The thing that makes iSCSI useful for Mac shops is you can present storage as a local disk to OS X using SANmp This gets around the isue where Adobe dont support opening files off a network share and helps people with big Final Cut workflows built around Apple XSAN migrate to a supported solution. So if the OP has a FC SAN solution now where video ingest or creative workstations are plugging directly into it via FC then SANmp is a good starting point for a replacement But if you are looking at a more traditional client to server setup then the discussion swings back to a Spiceworks favourite of why would you want a SAN in the first place.

As for the vendor - I quite agree with the comments above. They are bozos.
