iSCSI in small offices will permit users to set up their own shared storage pool
connected over the LAN. Small companies, companies with remote sites, and
home users will find iSCSI solutions useful because they can easily add
storage without opening systems and without requiring extensive technical
knowledge.
The focus of low-end and mid-range iSCSI solutions will generally be on
connectivity rather than performance.
