Hello again Erik, As far as I know, there is no AoE target that runs on Windows.
AoE in the commercial space is almost wholly owned by Coraid, and I /think/ that they specialize in HBAs and SAN-type appliance units. They too, like the majority of iSCSI target vendors, have their offerings very firmly positioned as a low(er) cost shared storage solution for vmware, the last time I looked. Some folks here may know more, but generally speaking, if you're looking to boot diskless in a purely Windows environment, iSCSI is really the only option that will have any sort of flexibility for you. To that end, I can suggest only the products I'm aware of, but specifically for COW type setups there are sanFly and CCBoot. CCBoot is a little confusing though, for what it's worth. sanFly was a very neat looking product, and got absorbed into doubletake when they bought emBoot, which I think got positioned as a storage consolidation piece of a desktop virtualization solution, similar to what happened to Ardence when Citrix bought them and rolled it into XenDesktop. However, I digress :) I wish you luck, but unfortunately the small niche that AoE is in commercially severely limits the options you have when it comes to implementing it. It's a shame too because, quite frankly, it's a very nice protocol :-( Cheers, Andrew Bobulsky On Nov 14, 2010, at 9:00 AM, Erik Loman <e...@surfright.com> wrote: Hello all, I am looking for either commercial or free ATA over Ethernet (AoE) target software for Windows that supports many clients and Copy-On-Write (COW). The target software seems to be included in Linux but I need it for Windows. Please advise.
