Hello all,
I would like to request adding Server Attached SCSI support to Cloudstack. The use of direct-attached storage would be beneficial for the adoption of Cloudstack- SAS devices need less infrastructure to implement (no network devices needed, unlike iSCSI or FibreChannel), and therefore allow for low-cost deployments. This could make Cloudstack more attractive to small and medium businesses with tight IT budgets, and those who are unable to dedicate the needed network infrastructure to make an effective storage network. My company is looking to create efficient cost-effective on-site clusters for our clients that would scale with their needs. Many of these clients do not have the network infrastructure for an iSCSI or FC deployment, and the cost to upgrade their networks would be hard for them to justify. Thank you for your time, Tim
