Microsoft made a couple of big moves in the storage space on Friday, deepening its partnership with EMC and acquiring iSCSI technology from String Bean Software.
Microsoft acquired the WinTarget technology from String Bean Software of Montgomery Village, Md. WinTarget is an Internet Small Computer System Interface storage area networking solution designed and optimized for the Windows platform. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Microsoft has until now focused on delivering iSCSI initiator technology. The WinTarget acquisition adds target technology to the mix to allow customers to build complete IP SAN solutions.
