We're all used to the idea and promise of FREE. However, in the case of software we are often taken on a ride of FREE only to discover that what we get in return is a download copy with an expiration date on it. I for one do not like the idea of downloading a free piece of software only to discover I have 30 days remaining!! Where's the FREE in that??

StorMagic, an iSCSI storage area network (SAN) management company, released a Storage Virtual Appliance that it says can build a virtual SAN in a few minutes. With StorMagic's SvSAN, IT managers can turn unused storage capacity into shared storage for VMware ESX environments for less than $2,000. This is especially useful for features like VMware VMotion, which typically requires a more expensive external SAN. StorMagic's SvSAN capacity starts at 2 TB, and is also designed to work with VMware vCenter. It also lets IT managers manage data stores, the StorMagic iSCSI SAN, and the internal RAID controller from a single interface, according to StorMagic.

StorMagic will be present at Booth #59 to give you your FREE SvSAN! And the best part? This isn't something with a time expiration on it. It's yours for life! For more on StorMagic and the SvSAN, visit http://www.stormagic.com/
