Microsoft iSNS Server 1.0.0.0

Microsoft iSNS Server, developed by Microsoft, is a software application used to manage the discovery and communication of Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) devices on a network. The iSNS protocol allows iSCSI initiators to discover target devices and their associated addresses through a central server instead of directly searching the network. This improves efficiency and reduces traffic on the network.

• The iSNS server software can be installed on a Windows Server operating system.
• Once installed and configured, the iSNS server maintains a list of registered iSCSI targets and their attributes, such as IP address and port number.
• ISCSI initiators can then query the iSNS server to obtain information about available target devices and their connectivity options.
• The iSNS server can also provide load-balancing services by distributing target device information across multiple servers.

The Microsoft iSNS Server offers an efficient and centralized solution for managing iSCSI devices on a network, making it easier to discover and connect to target devices.
